Just starting with JavaScript. Do I have to have Lite Server or can I use VS Code's Liveserver extension instead? Any research I've done on the topic leads into node.js, package.json, and NPMs which I don't understand.
If Lite Server is needed, do you install it through terminal/command line or do you have to install it in the html document you want to apply it to? Thanks.
They are both pretty similar and for your purposes, VSCode's Live server will work fine for you especially if you are not familiar with npm, node, and do not have a package.json.
If you would like to learn more about npm and what a package.json is check this out.
