Node.js is blooming day by day. As developers are experimenting with better and new ways to deliver information from the platform, more and more options are brewing up. This results in multiple frameworks of Node.js with added functionalities. Here’s a list of 7 such magnificent frameworks:

It is a thin shell that provides a framework that allows for lightweight processing of requests. Express maps the URL to a template and enters the values with data from the data store. Consolidate is the standard template engine for it but the pattern is pretty simple so any template engine can work well.





It is designed for maximum automation. You begin with a markup template for CSS and HTML, and Total compiles it into raw code and finally compresses it for delivery. Total is a big compiler of websites that masquerade as frameworks.

It is a real time application that is designed to build web applications that regularly synchronize with the server. The changes to data and template automatically flow from the server to the browser. The updating and the redrawing are directly handled by the underlying framework. This works in both directions. Your browser code can write data or make changes as if the database is present there. The process of synchronization occurs in the background.

It is a telescoping call stack that is built by the team that also built Express. Koa.js allows you to add new features to the call. You begin by writing a little bit of code to handle the request but you are allowed to customize anything along the way. The middleware that tackles all of the error handling and telemetry are open for any changes you wish to make. There are also multiple plug-in packages that add caching, compression, JSON coding etc. to the stack.

One aspect of Node.js is to utilize the same language in the server and the browser. Derby.js takes it to a further extent by running the same code in both and then synchronizing the results. To simplify the process, it tosses in packaging, template rendering and some MVC. You no longer have to worry about compiling CSS as Derby.js has it incorporated.

Not all applications need complete support for a browser. Restify accounts for one of the server side frameworks that are designed to serve up data through an API. It places special importance on profiling and debugging so that you can optimize your server’s performance. DTrace is well incorporated and supported to make it feasible to watch what happens and when it may go wrong.

If you are required to create a business grade custom web app, Sails.js MVC framework will handle most of the core tasks of the app while staying flexible to work with other tools. It is both ready to work with ‘all databases’ and ‘front end agnostic’. If you prefer the Ruby philosophy of convention and MVC separation, things will be pretty familiar to you.
