"The best way to make an API"
5/5
What do you like best about Express.js?

It's very easy to get started building an API, so that's what it's best for. I've used it for several projects and ExpressJs is an easy recommendation. If you compare it with Flask, it is better suitable for APIs which required quick response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express.js?

The error messages are not that helpful sometimes. ExpressJS does not know how to handle async/await. Since ExpressJS is a low-scope framework, it could really be hard sometimes to get started, alternatives like Fastify solves those problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
