A fast re-implementation of Express.js 4 built on µWebSockets, designed as a drop-in replacement with the same API. It validates compatibility by running Express's test suite against it and comparing results.
Use cases
- replace express with a faster drop-in http server
- speed up node.js rest api performance
- serve http with express api on uwebsockets
- migrate existing express app for higher throughput
- handle high request-per-second workloads in node
When to choose
- you have an existing Express 4 app and want a large speedup with minimal code changes
- you need Express API compatibility including middleware support
- you need very high req/sec HTTP performance on Node.js >= 22
When to avoid
- you're on older Node.js versions without a compatible release
- you rely on Express internals or edge-case behaviors not covered by the compatibility tests
- you're starting a new project where a native uWebSockets or other framework fits better
