Description

I'd appreciate if there was a comparison of lite-server with http-server which is the most popular www dev server for node.js (according to npm, 3 times more downloads than lite).

Research direction
Review the current lite server README (https://github.com/johnpapa/lite server) and http server's documentation (https://www.npmjs.com/package/http server). Draft a comparison section focusing on features, usage, and performance. Since the issue is from 2017, verify if the comparison is still relevant and if the maintainer is responsive. Ask in the issue thread if any specific aspects are desired.
