Koa: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Koa is a lightweight and expressive Node.js web framework designed by the creators of Express. It uses modern JavaScript features and async/await syntax to streamline middleware composition and improve error handling. Koa emphasizes middleware functions and provides a clean and minimalistic core, allowing developers to build powerful web applications with less boilerplate code.
Compared to Express, Koa offers a more modular and flexible approach to building web servers, making it ideal for developers who prefer a more lightweight and customizable framework. Koa is actively maintained and continues to evolve, with a growing community and ecosystem of plugins and middleware.
