Oak is a middleware framework for handling HTTP requests, inspired by Koa and Express, with an included middleware router. It runs on Deno, Deno Deploy, Node.js, Bun, and Cloudflare Workers.

Use cases

• build an http server in deno
• create a rest api with middleware
• route http requests in a typescript backend
• deploy a web server to cloudflare workers
• port an express or koa style app across runtimes
• handle websockets and http requests in bun

When to choose

• you want a Koa-like middleware framework across Deno, Node, Bun, and Workers
• you are building HTTP APIs or web servers in TypeScript
• you need cross-runtime support with a familiar Express/Koa API

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured batteries-included framework like NestJS
• you need native WebSocket upgrades or TLS on all supported runtimes
• you prefer minimal raw HTTP handlers without middleware
