And, of course, Sails - which augments Express.js but also includes many other nice bells and whistles ;)

I decided that routing was my main concern with respect to JavaScript frameworks. If my shop is going to use node to develop and host a large number of web apps and RESTful HTTP services, then we need a structured way to manage all of those apps and services. I think routing capabilities within JavaScript frameworks could be one part of that structure.

Once I decided to focus on routing, I was able to do a few google searches and turn up many resources about routing using the Express.JS framework.

Hi Kelly

Mainly because when I tried it I found it very easy to use - following various tutorials likes SailsCasts. As I also wanted to learn Angular and Bootstrap at the same time and the tutorials I was following included both. It also introduced me to other things like Express and Grunt, which I knew nothing about before (you have to try it to form an opinion - right?). It also uses a nice database solution (Waterline ORM) and has a default database that works straight out of the box (no extra config) which is great to get started/develop/test before switching to a more conventional database for production. Of course, Waterline does not yet support DB2 but the built in DB was good enough for my web socket server (websockets are also there out of the box - basically a Sails augmentation of socket.io). So now I have a decent node web socket server and I can talk to it from our Renaissance Framework by plugging in the sails.io.js client library.

I like it, but I haven't tried HapiJS so I cannot compare it.

Cheers
Kevin

Kevin,

What led you to choose Sails.js?

I am using Sails.js on the IBMi (which uses Express) and I am also using the IBM toolkit with it. I have basically been using Sails as a websocket server (as a FOC alternative to Lightstreamer).

Subject: [WEB400] Which JavaScript framework would you recommend for IBM i?

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.

Thanks,
