## What it is
server.js is a batteries-included Node.js web server framework that wraps Express-compatible middleware with sane defaults for routing, sessions, websockets, and more. It lets developers launch a full HTTP server with a single function call and focus on application logic.

## Use cases
- build a simple node.js web server quickly
- create a REST API in node with minimal boilerplate
- add realtime websocket channels to a small app
- serve web pages with templates and forms
- learn node.js backend development with a beginner-friendly framework
- use express middleware in a simpler server setup

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config node server with cookies, sessions, websockets, and parsing built in
- you're a beginner or building a small-to-medium project
- you want Express middleware compatibility with a simpler API

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control or a large ecosystem like Express or Fastify
- you're building a large-scale microservices application
- you need a framework with frequent updates and a large active community

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, web-framework, routing, websocket, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: batteries-included, express-middleware-compatible, async-await, beginner-friendly, nodejs
