hapi

hapi started out as a toolkit for building RESTful API servers in Node.

Since then it slowly evolved into a fully-blown framework for building general HTTP servers that run on top of Node.js.

hapi will allow developers to control how Node.js deals with HTTP requests and how it responds to user queries.

The entire system was meant to be scalable from the start and will adapt to any infrastructure it needs to work on.

Also, thanks to its built-in support for plugins, hapi can be extended with extra functionality that doesn't need to be in its core by default.

This makes hapi quite fast for mundane tasks and adaptable when it really needs to be.
