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.

Hypernova is a legacy open source service from Airbnb that renders JavaScript views on the server to deliver HTML for better page load and search engine indexing.
