Node.js is not a framework, it’s a runtime that allows you to run JavaScript on a server. You’re comparing apples to oranges here.

This is at least the second similar post I’ve seen in the last few days where people are claiming node.js is a framework.

Hi Mark, you pointed it out rightly. It is a runtime environment, and not a framework. I also covered the subject at length in the blog - simform.com/best-nodejs-frameworks/ - We have covered whether node.js is a framework or not.
