Express
Express
Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is quick and easy. Express provides a thin layer of fundamental web application features, without obscuring Node.js features that you know and love. Express has no notion of a database. This concept is left up to third-party Node modules, allowing you to interface with nearly any database. In Express, 404 responses are not the result of an error, so the error-handler middleware will not capture them. This behavior is because a 404 response simply indicates the absence of additional work to do; in other words, Express has executed all middleware functions and routes, and found that none of them responded.

A Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. restify optimizes for introspection and performance and is used in some of the largest Node.js deployments on Earth. Running at scale requires tracing problems back to their origin by separating noise from the signal. restify is built from the ground up with post-mortem debugging in mind. Staying true to the spec is one of the foremost goals of the project. You will see references to RFCs littered throughout GitHub issues and the codebase. restify is used by some of the industry's most respected companies to power some of the largest deployments of Node.js on planet Earth—the future of Node.js REST development. Setting up a server is quick and easy. Like many other Node. js-based REST frameworks, restify leverages a Sinatra-style syntax for defining routes and the function handlers that service those routes.
