How to make a simple server-side API in JS, which database is better to use?

Question

JavaScript

Hello!

I have a small website that has a table with data. The data is stored in excel, then converted to json and stored in a json file on the site, from which it is loaded.

Goal: create a simple server-side API, with multiple endpoints, to access and retrieve data.
Language: javascript
Input knowledge: basic knowledge of js

What is the best way to implement this? What tools to use? Is there a ready option?

Thank you for your attention, I will be glad to any advice!

if the site is on a regular shared hosting, where only PHP is available, then there will not be much choice
