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 like async/await to streamline middleware composition and improve error handling. Koa's minimalistic design allows developers to build powerful web applications with less boilerplate code, making it a popular choice for building APIs and web servers.
Compared to Express, Koa offers a more modular and flexible approach to middleware handling, enabling better control over the request-response cycle. Koa is actively maintained and continues to evolve, with a growing community and ecosystem of plugins and extensions.
