Express is a minimalist, flexible web application framework for Node.js that helps you quickly build web servers and APIs.

About Express

If you’re looking for a lightweight tool to build web servers in Node.js, Express is a solid choice. It is unopinionated - meaning it won’t force a specific structure or stack on you - and provides a straightforward, powerful foundation for routing, middleware and HTTP handling.

Express gains strength from its ecosystem: you can easily add middleware for authentication, file uploads, session management or API documentation without the framework dictating how you structure your app. That makes it suitable for quick prototypes as well as small production services.

Whether you’re building a REST API, a backend for a web or mobile app, or simply need a reliable and well‑tested framework to stand on, Express is a sensible pick. Its long history and wide adoption mean there’s ample community support, packages and documentation to rely on.
