restify is a framework, utilizing connect style middleware for building REST APIs. A Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. restify optimizes for introspection and performance, and is used in some of the largest Node.js deployments on Earth. restify is used by some of the industry's most respected companies to power some of the largest deployments of Node.js on planet Earth. Running at scale requires the ability to trace problems back to their origin by separating noise from signal. restify is built from the ground up with post-mortem debugging in mind. Staying true to the spec is one of the foremost goals of the project. You will see references to RFCs littered throughout GitHub issues and the codebase.
Features
- Restify aims to support the Node.js LTS (Active and Maintenance) versions along with Node.js current stable version
- Production ready, debuggable, and semantically correct
- restify leverages a Sinatra style syntax for defining routes and the function handlers that service those routes
- Handle all occurrences of an error type using a common handler
- restify routing, in ‘basic’ mode, is pretty much identical to express/sinatra
- A module called restify-errors exposes a suite of error constructors for many common http and REST related errors
