Express, Koa or Hapi for today’s node newbies?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11995304Today, to somebody new to Node and programming in general, which framework would you recommend learning, Express, Koa or Hapi? Express seemed to be the go to Node’s web framework a while back. Is it still the case these days?
Although I read several discussions supporting all of them I found opposing arguments some of which are:
- In spite of being extremely popular Express slowly getting obsolete, not being as much actively maintained as in the past and that implementing ES6 changes would be better done in a new framework. (As per Express site, version 4.14.0 supporting Node.js 6.x. was released on June 16, 2016)
- Not fond of Koa generators
- Hapi being too complex and requiring too much code for small projects
