Which is Better Node.js Web Framework?
egg vs express

A Node.js web framework is like a toolbox that helps web developers build server-side web applications using Node.js. It provides a structure and tools that make it easier to handle things like routing (directing requests to the right places), managing requests and responses, handling user sessions, working with databases, and creating web page templates. These frameworks simplify the process of building web applications, allowing developers to create scalable and high-performing websites. They take care of common tasks like handling incoming requests and sending out responses, so developers can focus on the unique features of their applications. They also make it easier to work with databases and other external services, making the development process faster and more efficient.
