:zap: Tiny web framework as a replacement of Express
⚠ The project is in development. Please don't use in production.
tinyhttp is a modern Express -like web framework written in TypeScript and compiled to native ESM, that uses a bare minimum amount of dependencies trying to avoid legacy hell.
Here is a short list of most important features that tinyhttp has:
- :zap: 2.5x faster than Express
- ⚙ Full Express middleware support
- ↪ Async middleware support
- ☑ Native ESM and CommonJS support
- :rocket: No legacy dependencies, just the JavaScript itself
- :hammer: Types out of the box
- 4x smaller than Express
To get started, visit tinyhttp website .
Install
tinyhttp requires Node.js 12.4.0 or newer . It is recommended to use pnpm , although it isn't required.

Docs
You can see the documentation here .
Get Started
The app structure is quite similar to Express, except that you need to import App
from @tinyhttp/app
instead of default import from express
.
import { App } from '@tinyhttp/app' import { logger } from '@tinyhttp/logger' const app = new App() app .use(logger()) .use(function someMiddleware(req, res, next) { console.log('Did a request') next() }) .get('/', (_, res) => { res.send('<h1>Hello World</h1>') }) .get('/page/:page/', (req, res) => { res.status(200).send(`You just opened ${req.params.page}`) }) .listen(3000)
