Rapid development and easy scalability, high performance and robustness. The advent of node.js has made these dreams a reality for all Web application developers. But, like other new development language technologies, it's a time-consuming thing to write code-building applications from scratch using Node.js's most basic features. The solution to this problem is very simple and has withstood the test of time: Using a development framework that has been built in advance. Therefore, there are so many concepts such as express.js,koa,sails.js and so on to be proposed and implemented.
The role of these development frameworks is very simple. is to save time for application developers, so that we don't have to spend too much energy on unnecessary things. Once a framework satisfies the developer's idea of "getting the same output at the lowest cost", the framework can be used in a large way.
In today's Node.js world there is no framework for unified, although Express.js is still the most popular framework yet. But there are many other doors in the world to fight for the leader of the martial Arts. Can't say you confraternity member many others must join you confraternity, everybody is in order to learn a self-defense of the operation (rapid development, such as Node.js framework), you confraternity have 18 palm (express.js), others Wudang and Taiji (sails.js, etc.).
In general, you can boil down the node.js development framework to two categories:
-Thin frame
-Full stack type frame
Here we will discuss the two frameworks.
Thin frame
The thin framework provides the most basic functionality and APIs that are designed to improve the main aspects of the node.js development process. However, the main focus of these frameworks is to provide the basic MVC development Framework functionality and improve the coding experience, rather than the support of other features and technologies not node.js itself. Here are some of the most popular, streamlined node.js frameworks today.
The most popular frame of express.js-
Express.js is undoubtedly the most popular Node.js development framework for Web application developers today. As a flexible, lightweight, easy to use framework, express.js can be used to develop pure JS or mixed-type mobile applications for easy expansion. If some of the data on the web is not unfounded, there are already 26,000 web and mobile applications that are being developed using the framework. Some of the famous user fans include MySpace, countly, yummly, Mozilla persona, and Geekli.st. So, if you're a node developer, maybe express.js is the fast train you should be riding on.
Koa-node.js Next Generation development framework
As another Node.js development framework developed and maintained by the behind-the-scenes development team of the Express.js framework, KOA is a networked development framework that is touted as a node.js next-generation development framework. Because the framework is evolved from Express.js, you can see a lot of similarities between them, of course, the difference must be there. It provides some additional new functionality, and the middleware of the framework isolates these new features from other existing features. In addition, the framework provides features such as efficient development and ease of use to simplify the process of starting server and server-related functionality.
Total.js-A modern Network application development Node.js Framework
Although total.js can be considered a minimalist framework, it is still a complement to the node.js framework. The target users of the framework are developers who want to build applications that have very powerful scalability. Total.js may be a perfect choice if you want to build a Web application now, and the app may be expanding a lot in the future.
Sails.js
As a framework for providing MVC development pattern emulation functionality, like Ruby on Rails, sails.js is actually a robust extensible node.js development framework. It is itself a service-driven (Service-driven) architecture, and its API set is provided in a data-driven fashion. Its biggest use should be used to create multi-user games, network chat, real-time interactive applications, as well as enterprises cry other node.js applications.
Full stack type Node.js development framework
The whole stack type development frame is nodejs so the place that glows and heats up. Most of the full stack framework contains the necessary application development base, complete template engine, network sockets, and persistent library to accelerate the construction of real-time scalable network and mobile applications. The following are the most popular full stack node.js frameworks today:
Meteor-An extremely simple application development environment
As a framework designed to integrate the functionality of all mean development frameworks, Meteor is a synthesizer of the Javascrtip framework, JAVASCRITP can run in the client browser, It can also be run on a server-side Node.js container's Meteeor server. In addition, it supports HTML code, CSS, and other useful static tools.
All of these features are very resilient in the meteor framework, and you can easily use them in a way that is requested by a file directory tree. The packaging and data transfer of the client and server components are done automatically by the Meteor framework.
mean.io-Complete Mean stack JavaScript development framework
MEAN. Io is a complete JavaScript development framework designed to simplify and accelerate the development of network applications based on mean stacks. The framework brings together tools that allow you to seamlessly engage the four technologies of the mean framework, such as MongoDB, Express.js, Angularjs, and Node.js, and even other groundbreaking technologies such as Bootstrap. It also has a lot of HTML and CSS and other extra JavaScript code to drastically reduce your coding time. But the most brilliant frame of the framework is its powerful MVC architecture. You can use it to create modular code and use it as a tool to build sophisticated Web or mobile applications. MEAN. IO packs are Plug and play, so once a new feature Pack is released, you can get and use them just as you would with the NPM package. The
Meanio Package system integrates all the packages into the mean project, as if the code itself is part of the mean itself. It also provides developers with all the necessary tools to integrate our packages into our projects.
