Feathers: Detailed Overview & Metrics
@feathersjs/feathers is a minimalist and flexible Node.js framework for building real-time applications. It provides a simple and powerful API for creating RESTful services and WebSocket-based real-time applications. Feathers is designed to be agnostic to the underlying transport layer, allowing developers to seamlessly switch between HTTP and WebSocket protocols.
Compared to other Node.js frameworks like Express or Koa, Feathers offers a more streamlined and opinionated approach to building real-time applications. It provides built-in support for authentication, authorization, and database integration, making it a popular choice for developers looking to quickly build scalable and efficient real-time applications.
