Re: Which JavaScript framework would you recommend for IBM i?

I have been using express.js . I have built a few apps (two static and one CRUD) using it so far and it seems pretty straight forward.

I have decided that frameworks are like women: All of them are attractive in their own way, but once you get to know ONE, they all pale in comparison.....

In exploring Node.JS on the IBM i, I will eventually want to learn about using a JavaScript framework for routing requests.

I know Express.JS is very popular. But I've also read pretty good things about Hapi.JS. I know there are other frameworks out there as well. I'm trying to figure out which framework to install on the IBM i.

Has anybody actually started using Express.JS, Hapi.JS, or a comparable framework on the IBM i?

I assume Express.JS, Hapi.JS, and comparable JavaScript frameworks would all be equally easy to use with the Node.JS toolkits that IBM has provided (that use XMLSERVICE). Is this assumption correct? I don't know what I don't know here.
