Express.js
Also known as: Express / Express.js / エクスプレス
A minimal and fast web framework for Node.js. Its small core and rich middleware ecosystem made it the long-standing de facto standard, though Hono and Fastify are increasingly competitive.
Overview
Express enables rapid REST API and backend construction through its simple routing and middleware patterns. The extensive existing middleware packages remain a significant asset.
2026 Status
New projects increasingly favor Hono, Fastify, or Elysia, but migrating existing Express codebases has a high cost. See Hono vs Express comparison for a detailed framework breakdown.
