Forget Express.js — opt for these alternatives instead

ExpressJS

Express.js became so popular that it’s almost ubiquitously associated with Node.js — much like when we read about the language Ruby, we’re already conjuring up thoughts of the framework Rails. In fact, Express.js and Node.js are members of the popular MEAN and MERN stack acronyms.

Fastify

Koa.js

This Koa example isn’t as succinct as the Fastify version. It doesn’t perform the automatic JSON parsing, but we’re able to reuse the requestBodyJson() method we created earlier. It also doesn’t use the returned/resolved value from our controller but instead works by consuming data attached to the ctx argument.
