Guidelines for choosing a Node.js framework
I often see the question "What’s the best Node.js framework?" crop up on message boards and social media. The replies tend to be full of strong opinions. Some developers will even get into arguments about it. If you’re trying to figure out the right framework for your project, none of this is going to be much help.
