Answer 1

This is the result of morgan , the HTTP request protocol middleware for node.js.

It logs all requests by default in the console. Depending on your configurations, it displays various data from the request.

If you use the default format (dev), the data displayed is:

:method :url :status :response-time ms - :res[content-length]
