dart_frog VS Express

DartFrog

What sets you apart from Dart Frog https://dartfrog.vgv.dev/ ?

Dart is still mostly for Flutter, but we're seeing it move into the server side as well with projects like Serverpod and Dart Frog.

This project is incredible https://dartfrog.vgv.dev

What do you think of dart_frog? People at Google seem to use it for sample projects based on some of the Flutter YouTube channel videos.

We’re working on multipart form data support (https://github.com/VeryGoodOpenSource/dart_frog/issues/296) but in the meantime you can use https://pub.dev/packages/shelf_multipart.

There's also Dart Frog if you want to keep everything in Dart, but i do not have experience with it so can't recommend either way.

In this blog, I will talk about the benchmarks of Flask (Python), Express (JavaScript), Shelf (Dart), dart_frog (Dart) and Conduit (Dart), and my opinions on Dart on the server side.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

express - one of the most popular middleware tools, lightweight and easy to learn. docs

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:

app.listen(3000); ``` Now you can run your server by executing `node index.js`. Your web application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000/, where you'll see "Hello, world!" displayed in your browser. Congratulations! 🎉 You've successfully set up basic routing with Express.js! This guide covered only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to utilizing Express.js features. Explore its extensive documentation (https://expressjs.com/) to discover more possibilities. Remember, with Express.js, you have the power to build efficient and scalable web applications. Happy coding!

Converting a large Express.js application from JavaScript to TypeScript can be a challenging task. For many applications, this represents a significant portion of their technical debt, as the process may span many days, if not months, and new changes are typically not allowed during the conversion.

Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

ExpressoTS fully supports Express middleware.
