为什么http模块不在node_modules文件夹中？

Question

My question is what is the difference between http module and other modules in node.js . why is the http module not located in ./node_modules ? Where I can find the module?

Answer 1

The http module is provided by your installation of Node.js. It's what's known as a core module

You can view the source to them in the repo (or download them locally): https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/master/lib

Answer 2

• HTTP modules are compiled into its binary distribution and load automatically when Node.js process starts. but, you need to import the core module first in order to use it in your application.
• var http = require('http');
