// Middleware to parse body of HTTP requests
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
// Invokes function returned from require.
// Creates an Express application;

Second express example, separating routes into different controller files
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
// Import the functions returned by apiController and htmlController
// to add endpoints/routes to app.
var apiController = require('./controllers/apiController');
var htmlController = require('./controllers/htmlController');
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
