veloze

A modern and fast express-like webserver for the web.

Allows you to:

• reuse connect (express) middlewares
• use secure defaults
• pick the pieces to build your server
• use async middlewares like async (req, res) => { ... }

Comes with:

• a Pure ESM Package
• Stoppable HTTP2 server
• Fast Radix Tree Router
• Follows standards (lower-case headers, ...)
• failsafe connecting your handlers by catching thrown errors in middlewares
• Query-parser middleware to prevent HTTP parameter pollution
• Body-parser for form, json, raw content
• content-security-policy and reporting middleware
• HTTP to HTTPS redirect middleware
• cache-control middleware
• CORS middleware
• Cookie-parser and response helpers to set and clear cookies
• Too Busy middleware to prevent server from overload
• Support for server-side rendering engines
• Safe final handler to prevent info leakage from internal error exposure in responses
• res.send() to send any content with or without Etag generation
• res.json() to respond with a JSON object, with or without Etag generation
• Serve middleware to serve static files with brotli, gzip, deflate compression

Project Goals:

• Provide a fast and modern web-server
• Modular and un-opinionated.
• ESM only (no require)
• Follows Connect/Express middleware pattern (req, res, next) => { ... }
• Keep things simple
• Pure Javascript with the support of TS-types.
• Secure Defaults
