Sails is a full-featured web application framework for Node.js that simplifies the development of real-time, enterprise-grade applications. It follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and provides a robust set of features out of the box, including data-driven APIs, WebSocket support, and automatic asset compilation. Sails is known for its scalability, extensibility, and compatibility with front-end frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.
Compared to other Node.js frameworks like Express or Koa, Sails offers a more opinionated structure and built-in support for common web development tasks, reducing the need for manual configuration. It is actively maintained and continues to evolve with new features and improvements.
