next-connect is a lightweight, promise-based method routing and middleware layer for Next.js API routes, Edge routes, Middleware, App Router, and Node.js http/http2 servers. It supports async handlers with error catching, TypeScript, and Express middleware compatibility via a wrapper.

Use cases

• add method-based routing to Next.js API routes
• use Express middleware like passport in Next.js handlers
• chain async middleware with error handling in serverless functions
• build lightweight routers for Vercel Edge or micro services
• handle GET/PUT/POST logic in a single Next.js route file
• replace Express with a faster minimal router on Node.js

When to choose

• you use Next.js API routes or Edge runtime and want Express-style middleware chaining
• you need a tiny, fast router for serverless or Node.js http servers
• you want TypeScript-first routing with async error handling

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured web framework with built-in validation, sessions, or templating
• you are on Next.js App Router and prefer native route handlers without middleware chaining
• you need routing features like nested route params or sub-routers beyond method routing
