Frameworks

kodkod supports multiple HTTP frameworks, each with its own strengths. Choose the one that best fits your team's preferences and project requirements.

Express

Express is the classic Node.js framework—battle-tested, flexible, and widely adopted.

Best for:

• Teams familiar with the Express ecosystem
• Projects requiring extensive middleware options
• Legacy system integration

npx kodkod-stack@latest my-app --framework express

Sample Route (Express)

import { Router } from 'express';
import { UserController } from '../controllers/user.controller';

const router = Router();
const userController = new UserController();

router.get('/users/:id', userController.getUser);

export default router;

Hono

Hono is an ultrafast, lightweight framework built for the edge. It's modern, TypeScript-first, and incredibly fast.

Best for:

• Edge deployments (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge)
• High-performance APIs
• Teams who prefer modern, minimal APIs

npx kodkod-stack@latest my-app --framework hono

Sample Route (Hono)

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { UserController } from '../controllers/user.controller';

const app = new Hono();
const userController = new UserController();

app.get('/users/:id', userController.getUser);

export default app;

Fastify

Fastify is a performance-focused framework with built-in schema validation and plugin architecture.

Best for:

• High-throughput applications
• Teams who value built-in validation
• Plugin-based architectures

npx kodkod-stack@latest my-app --framework fastify
