lite-server is a lightweight development server designed to simplify local web development by providing live reloading and static file serving with minimal configuration. It is commonly used for front-end projects, particularly those built with frameworks like Angular, where rapid feedback during development is essential. The server automatically reloads the browser when files change, reducing the need for manual refreshes and speeding up the development cycle. It is built on top of BrowserSync, which enables synchronized testing across multiple devices and browsers. Lite Server requires very little setup, often configured with a simple JSON file or default settings. It supports serving static files, proxying API requests, and customizing server behavior through configuration options. The tool is designed to be easy to integrate into existing workflows, especially when used alongside task runners or package scripts.
