A starter boilerplate for building RESTful APIs with Express and ES6 (via Babel) in Node.js. It includes CORS support, body parsing, REST resource middleware, and a Dockerfile for containerized deployment.

Use cases

• scaffold a new express rest api in es6
• boilerplate for node.js api server
• quickly start a restful backend with cors
• dockerized express api starter project
• learn how to structure an es6 express api

When to choose

• you want a minimal, batteries-included Express ES6 API starting point
• you need CORS and body parsing preconfigured out of the box
• you plan to deploy a Node API in Docker quickly

When to avoid

• you need modern JavaScript without Babel (Node now supports ES modules natively)
• you want an actively developed framework with recent updates
• you need TypeScript or a full-featured framework like NestJS
