A comprehensive overview of Node.js web frameworks, categorized into three groups: minimalist frameworks (Express, Koa, Fastify, Hono, Nitro), batteries-included frameworks (Nest, Adonis, Sails), and full-stack meta-frameworks (Next, Nuxt, SvelteKit). Each framework is demonstrated through code examples showing how to implement a simple API endpoint with route parameters. The guide covers the architectural differences, design philosophies, and use cases for each framework, from Express's simplicity and extensibility to Nest's dependency injection and full-stack frameworks' integrated front-end and back-end development.
