<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">

// DOM Content Loaded Event
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    // Code goes here

    // Example: Alert message on page load
    console.log("Page loaded successfully!");

    // Example: Add click event listener to a button
    const button = document.querySelector('#myButton');
    button.addEventListener('click', function () {
        alert('Button clicked!');
    });
});

    print("Hello, World!")
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Middleware
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

// Routes
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World!');
});

// Start server
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

6. React Boilerplate

javascript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';

function App() {
    return (
        <div className="App">

                <h1>Welcome to React!</h1>
            </header>
        </div>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(
    <React.StrictMode>
        <App />
    </React.StrictMode>,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

7. Java (Basic) Boilerplate

java
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
