Kraken.js is a JavaScript toolkit that can be used on top of Node.js and Express and provide an extra layer of functionality and security to the apps usually built on this type of architecture (usually called MEAN when used with MongoDB and AngularJS).
The Kraken suite is not only made up of the code that enhances Express' default middleware, but also comes with a few extra modules.
These modules have come out of the Kraken development cycle, but they can also be used independently of the main Kraken core.
What does Kraken do, you might ask? Well Kraken provides lots of tools that simplify application development.
It starts with a default project structure, with an easier way to start one and then configure it, but taking into account the dynamic contexts in which one of these projects needs to run.
Kraken.js adds the ability to dynamically configure applications, their routes, models, and templates. This ensures a top-notch response to user activities and in-depth control over the entire application.
There's also support for an easier localization process, and an enhanced security level that can protect against CSRF and X-Frame-Options (click jacking).
