Express is a fast, unopinionated, and minimalist web framework for Node.js. It provides a robust set of features for building web applications and APIs, including routing, middleware support, template engines, and error handling. Express simplifies the process of creating server-side logic and handling HTTP requests, making it a popular choice for developers looking to build scalable and efficient web applications.

Compared to other Node.js frameworks like Koa or Hapi, Express is known for its simplicity and flexibility, allowing developers to quickly set up and customize their server-side applications.
