About

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.

Flow, formerly known as TYPO3 Flow or FLOW3, is a PHP web application framework focused on Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean code principles.

It offers a modular architecture, a powerful templating engine called Fluid, supports Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), and provides transparent object persistence.
