   Uhmm 🤔 I think we need to add more docs to the repository to explain the different uses of the library. I'm going to create a new issue to keep track of missing docs.

   For now @anupgupta-arg I'm going to explain to you each one of your cases in the best I can for now 😀:

   What is server[path]?

   In the example of the README is where you define your routes for example:

   server["/hello"] = { request in
       return HttpResponse.ok(.text("<html string>"))
   }

   By default, the server is going to run in localhost:8080 or any other port you specify when you started it. So the above definition of the route hello means when you post localhost:8080/hello in any browser including your Safari in your Mac or Simulator the response would be the specified in this case the <html string>.

   After loading the HTML file using HttpHandlers.directory(NSBundle.mainBundle().resourcePath! + "/www") how I will display in our WKWebView or SFSafariVC

   So let's say you want to display some HTML file as the response for a specific request and for the sake of simplicity let's use the same route as before /hello. So we want the server emits the HTML file we load from the Bundle so something like this would work:

   server["/hello"] = { request in
       let stringFile = // load your file here as a String file 
       return HttpResponse.ok(.text(stringFile))
   }

   But we have some public functions to handle some cases too:

   swifter/Sources/Files.swift

   Line 10 in b332956

   public func shareFile(_ path: String) -> ((HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse) {

   A very good file with examples can be found in the https://github.com/httpswift/swifter/blob/stable/Sources/DemoServer.swift

   I hope this can help you!
