Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for [node](http://nodejs.org). [](http://travis-ci.org/visionmedia/express) [](https://gemnasium.com/visionmedia/express)
```js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('Hello World');
});
app.listen(3000);
```
## Installation
$ npm install -g express
## Quick Start
The quickest way to get started with express is to utilize the executable `express(1)` to generate an application as shown below:
Create the app:
$ npm install -g express
$ express /tmp/foo && cd /tmp/foo
Install dependencies:
$ npm install
Start the server:
$ node app
## Features
* Built on [Connect](http://github.com/senchalabs/connect)
* Robust routing
* HTTP helpers (redirection, caching, etc)
* View system supporting 14+ template engines
* Content negotiation
* Focus on high performance
* Environment based configuration
* Executable for generating applications quickly
* High test coverage
## Philosophy
The Express philosophy is to provide small, robust tooling for HTTP servers. Making
it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public
HTTP APIs.
Built on Connect you can use _only_ what you need, and nothing more, applications
can be as big or as small as you like, even a single file. Express does
not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for over
14 template engines via [Consolidate.js](http://github.com/visionmedia/consolidate.js)
you can quickly craft your perfect framework.
