Customization

To add handlers for specific paths and HTTP methods you can create a new instance of the Handler interface and register it using the registerHandler method of the Server class.

For example:

Server server = new Server("localhost", 8081);
server.registerHandler("/hello", "GET", (req, res) -> {
    res.sendText(200, "Hello, World!");
});
