When people first started talking about extending JavaScript into the backend, it was met with confusion at best and derision at worst, but it’s now one of the tentpoles of tech. It’s often the default backend pick for real-time applications and with good reason: its single-threaded and event-driven nature makes it almost unparalleled at handling a high volume of real-time traffic. Unlike other web application technologies like PHP, ASP.NET, JSP and Spring MVC, which instantiate a new thread for a client request, NodeJS apps use the “Single Threaded Event Loop Model”, where the main event loop is on a single thread, and most of the I/O uses different threads. Today, we’ll be going over the six biggest Node frameworks: their strengths, their weaknesses, and when it’s the right time to use them. Express.js Yep, still the champ, and with good reason. Express is a simple, lightweight framework that has—in JS terms—stood the test of time. It has a powerful and versatile middleware interface that few other frameworks can match; since Express has been the default framework for so many years, basically any third-party NPM module you can think of is going to be compatible.
