"Good front end Java script framework with rich features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Express.js?

Its better than the Node Js in the respect that it manages the server management and setup more efficiently than the Node Js server setup. We have used it for the Single page application (SPA) building and it has served its purpose by providing all the features that we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express.js?

My concerns are with the coding itself rather than the product functionality directly. Sometimes it becomes hard to follow the code execution due to the non-structural way to organize things. The call-backs are always buggy and issue prone comparated to other products such as node js or back bone js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
