JavaScript Node js `res.send is not a function error`

Question

var url = require('url');
var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  var url_parts = url.parse(req.url, true);
  var q = url_parts.query;
  console.log(q.query);

   res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
   res.send(JSON.stringify({ a: 1 }));

console.log(q.query);
}).listen(8080);

Using this code I'm able to receive request, but I'm unable to respond to it. It shows TypeError: res.send is not a function

You need to do res.end instead of res.send. res.send is a part of express module and not of core http module.
