"I have been using this tool for 2 years already, it works really well"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Express.js?

Express allows you to create remarkable and robust web APIs to be used in many other environments and tools. It is really easy to use and configure once you start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express.js?

For someone that doesn't have a lot of experience in the web development side, it can be a little tricky to start understanding how to handle the connections, recognize the error types and learn about security, but this is more a general issue than an express issue.

"must have for Node.js"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Express.js?

very simple to implement and easy to use. The best suitable/robust tool for http servers and it provides a great solution for single page application and websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express.js?

Limited functionality. Express.js focuses on creating lightweight web applications, which may limit its functionality compared to more robust frameworks. While Express.js provides flexibility and customization options, it lacks some built-in features that other frameworks include by default, including authentication, database modeling, and form validation.

"Review of Express by Developer"
5/5

"ExpressJS, the library to get in the Node.js universe"
4/5
What do you like best about Express.js?

Well, several things could be pointed out, but the best is the functionality to work on the server-side backend in a much more intuitive way. The framework's ability to create different HTTP verbs is a feature that makes the way we manage requests much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express.js?

In the same way of the positive things, there are some things that could be improved, if we are talking about something that I don't like, clearly we have to mention the fact that there are no big developments since the express 5 or big updates to the way we manage the callback functions or any async functions, something that has been talked about for a long time in the huge community that exists for this library and that has had no response.
