🆚 ASP.NET vs. Express

Microsoft ASP.NET is a server-side web application framework that runs on the .NET platform and enables developers to build dynamic websites and APIs using languages like C#.

It offers Web Forms, MVC, Web Pages, Web API, and SignalR for real-time communication, includes tools for authentication, state management, and supports the Razor template syntax for combining HTML and server-side code.

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.
