HyperExpress
Node.js web server for HTTP and WebSocket endpoints, powered by uWebSockets.js, with limited compatibility with the Express API.
HyperExpress is a Node.js web server for HTTP and WebSocket endpoints, powered by uWebSockets.js. Its API is mostly compatible with Express, according to the README, so some middleware may not work out of the box. The server is started with listen on a port and host, as the server reference describes.
Worth knowing
The server listens on a port, so it needs a host that runs a Node.js process. The README says the native uWebSockets.js addon has prebuilt binaries for macOS, Windows and glibc-based Linux, and that Alpine Linux is not supported.
