🆚 ASP.NET MVC vs. Express

Microsoft ASP.NET MVC is a web application platform that implements the model-view-controller pattern as part of the ASP.NET framework.

Unlike ASP.NET Web Forms, it avoids view state and server-side form events, gives developers full control over generated HTML, uses a front-controller routing system, and supports easier unit testing.

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web framework that lets developers build web apps and APIs using routing, middleware, template engines, and support for serving static assets.

It provides a robust routing system with support for HTTP verbs, built-in middleware for JSON and URL-encoded parsing, error handlers, and a large ecosystem of third-party plugins available through npm.
