Express vs. Hapi: The Battle For Being Best Node.js Framework

Express and Hapi are both based on Node.Js at the core, and that is why it becomes a challenge to choose one of them. Though they have a lot in common, there are some stark differences that one should be aware of. Express is more closely related to Node, and Hapi is a newer framework and yet there are some features in Hapi that make it an exciting choice. 

One of the most significant differences between Hapi or HttpAPI and Express is the presence of middleware. Express needs middleware to parse objects, while Hapi does not need it. Apart from the middleware, many other features differ in Express and Hapi.
