Build fast, minimalist web applications with Node.js
Express is the most popular Node.js web framework, providing a minimal and flexible foundation for web applications and APIs. Its unopinionated approach gives you freedom to structure your application as needed, while its robust middleware system handles everything from routing to authentication. Express powers applications at IBM, Uber, and Accenture.
The standard for Node.js web applications—Express is battle-tested and production-ready.
Minimalist: Lightweight, unopinionated framework
Flexible: Structure your app however you want
Middleware: Powerful plugin system
Huge Community: Extensive resources and packages
No Structure: Need to make many architectural decisions
Callback-Based: Can lead to callback hell
Security: Must manually configure security features
REST APIs: Lightweight, fast backend services
Web Applications: Server-rendered or API-driven apps
Microservices: Small, focused services
MVPs: Rapid prototyping and development
Express.js is typically paired with these technologies
