Express is the minimalist Node.js framework that defined how we build web APIs. Its middleware pattern is elegantly simple — mount functions that process requests sequentially — and the ecosystem of middleware packages covers everything from CORS to rate limiting. While newer frameworks offer more features, Express's simplicity and widespread adoption mean abundant tutorials, StackOverflow answers, and battle-tested patterns. Many founders start with Express and only migrate when they need more structure.
