Koa is a lightweight and expressive Node.js web framework designed by the creators of Express. It uses modern JavaScript features like async/await to streamline middleware composition and improve error-handling. Koa's minimalistic design allows developers to build efficient and scalable web applications with a focus on simplicity and modularity. It provides a robust set of methods for handling requests and responses, making it ideal for building APIs and web services.

Compared to Express, Koa offers a more modular and flexible approach to middleware handling, enabling cleaner and more readable code. It is actively maintained and continues to evolve, making it a popular choice for developers seeking a modern and efficient web framework.
