express.js
APIs that are quick to build and easy to hand over
Express is the standard way to build an API on Node. It's deliberately simple, which matters when someone else has to read the code later — there's no framework magic to decode, just clear routes doing clear things.
Why this matters to you
- Simple, readable structure, so handovers and audits go smoothly
- Fast to build, which keeps the first version affordable
- Battle-tested for over a decade — nothing surprising happens in production
- Security, logging and rate limiting slot in as standard pieces

The kind of work this is right for.
REST APIs for web and mobile clients
Authentication with tokens, sessions and refresh flows
File upload and document handling with proper validation
Webhook endpoints for payment gateways and third-party tools
API documentation your other developers can actually use

Tell me what you're trying to build or fix. I'll come back with a clear scope and timeline in writing — and I'll say so if express.js isn't the right tool for it.
