What is builtin-status-codes?

The `builtin-status-codes` npm package provides an easy-to-use mapping of HTTP status codes to their descriptive reason phrases, as defined by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). This can be particularly useful for developers working on web servers or applications that need to handle HTTP responses accurately and provide meaningful feedback to clients or end-users.

What are builtin-status-codes's main functionalities?

Access HTTP status codes

This feature allows developers to access the descriptive reason phrase for any HTTP status code. In the code sample, we require the `builtin-status-codes` package and then log the reason phrase for the 404 status code, which is 'Not Found'.

"use strict";\nconst statusCodes = require('builtin-status-codes');\nconsole.log(statusCodes[404]); // Outputs: 'Not Found'"

Other packages similar to builtin-status-codes

http-status-codes

The `http-status-codes` package offers a comprehensive list of HTTP status codes and reason phrases, similar to `builtin-status-codes`. It also provides utility functions for getting the reason phrase by status code, checking if a status code is in a certain range (e.g., informational, success, redirection, client error, server error), and more. This makes it a bit more feature-rich compared to `builtin-status-codes`, which primarily focuses on mapping status codes to reason phrases.

statuses

The `statuses` package is another alternative that provides an easy way to get HTTP response status codes and messages. It not only includes the standard HTTP status codes but also custom codes used by popular software like nginx. Compared to `builtin-status-codes`, `statuses` offers a wider range of status codes and the ability to extend or customize the list of status codes and messages.
