## Get Route Parameter Input from the Client

<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds  -->

If someone tells you to build a GET or POST you would do app.get(...) or app.post(...) accordingly. The basic structure of the challenge is:

```javascript
app.get("/:word/echo", function(req, res) {
  // word = req.params.word;
  // respond with the json object
});
```
