Securing API Responses is easiest to learn by reading the example, changing it, and observing the result.
import express from 'express';
import helmet from 'helmet';
const app = express();
app.use(helmet()); // sensible security headers by default
app.disable('x-powered-by'); // hide framework fingerprint
app.get('/health', (req, res) => res.json({ status: 'ok' }));
app.listen(3000);Practice the Securing API Responses example in a small scratch file, then explain what changed and why.
