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 minimalist 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 HTTP requests and responses, making it ideal for building APIs and web servers.

Compared to Express, Koa offers a more modern and elegant approach to middleware handling and request/response flow. It is actively maintained and continues to evolve, making it a popular choice for developers seeking a flexible and powerful web framework.
