# --description--
Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: <https://request-header-parser-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks/>. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:
- Clone [this GitHub repo](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-headerparser/) and complete your project locally.
- Use [our Replit starter project](https://replit.com/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-headerparser) to complete your project.
- Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.
When you are done, make sure a working demo of your project is hosted somewhere public. Then submit the URL to it in the `Solution Link` field. Optionally, also submit a link to your project's source code in the `GitHub Link` field.
# --hints--
You should provide your own project, not the example URL.
```js
(getUserInput) => {
assert(
!/.*\/request-header-parser-microservice\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(
getUserInput('url')
)
);
};
```
A request to `/api/whoami` should return a JSON object with your IP address in the `ipaddress` key.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/whoami').then(
(data) => assert(data.ipaddress && data.ipaddress.length > 0),
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
A request to `/api/whoami` should return a JSON object with your preferred language in the `language` key.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/whoami').then(
(data) => assert(data.language && data.language.length > 0),
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
A request to `/api/whoami` should return a JSON object with your software in the `software` key.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/api/whoami').then(
(data) => assert(data.software && data.software.length > 0),
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```

/**
Backend challenges don't need solutions,
because they would need to be tested against a full working project.
