What reviewers say
Extensive Documentation and Proven Reliability Make Express Stand Out
“What I love most about Express is that it has been thoroughly tested in real-world scenarios, and there is a wealth of documentation available for learning how to use it.”
Express , as the name suggest
“Learning curve !!! I've using Express for almost a decade now , Its super simple to use , middleware takes care of all the cross cutting concerns and make my code more readable and scalable. I can build my ideas in a jiffy”
Asynchronous NodeJs framework
“It has provided opinion free backend REST api development with ease of use and implementation for large scale, high performance application. It consumes less memory and cpu of server resulting in cost effective solution.”
