Why you should drop ExpressJS in 2021

• Express

  680 63,886 8.3 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  

Express has not been updated for years, and its next version has been in alpha for 6 years.

• fastify-express

  9 228 6.0 JavaScript

  Express compatibility layer for Fastify

  

This framework is well maintained, and provides an official compatibility layer for Express to help you migrate your application.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• fastify

  124 30,705 9.4 JavaScript

  Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

  

Even if I believe low-scope framework should not be used, there are few people that like this style or need one for learning purposes. In this category, you should look at fastify.

• AdonisJs Framework

  23 15,510 9.3 TypeScript

  AdonisJS is a TypeScript-first web framework for building web apps and API servers. It comes with support for testing, modern tooling, an ecosystem of official packages, and more. (by adonisjs)

  

If you prefer to have a high-scope fully-featured framework that lets you focus on your business logic, you can use AdonisJS.
