Web framework for Node.js. The de facto standard for building APIs and HTTP servers with server-side JavaScript.

API: app.get('/users', handler), app.post('/users', handler) -- define routes and handlers

Middleware: functions that process the request before it reaches the handler (auth, logging, parsing)

Runs on Node.js -- requires a persistent process (a server running 24/7)
