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.
Koa is an expressive HTTP middleware framework for Node.js using ES2017 async functions.
Designed by the team behind Express, it offers a modular architecture, allowing developers to compose middleware functions for routing, error handling, and context management, providing fine-grained control over the request-response cycle.
