Express

Express is a minimalist, unopinionated web framework for Node.js, providing robust HTTP utility methods, extensible middleware architectures, and async handler support.

When to Use

  • Fast Node.js REST API Development: Building flexible, lightweight HTTP microservices and web backends.
  • Established Node.js Ecosystem Services: Leveraging thousands of battle-tested npm middleware packages.
  • Web App Routing & Server-Side Rendering: Serving dynamic server-side templates with EJS, Pug, or Handlebars.
  • API Gateways & Proxy Layers: Routing, inspecting, and transforming inbound microservice requests.

Quick Start

import express from "express";
const app = express();
