What is a Route Management Framework?

Most software engineers who’ve built and delivered production software have encountered the need for route management frameworks. These frameworks are designed and built to ease the development & management of  REST APIs inside NodeJS-based applications

Traditional route management framework inside an API application

The most popular use of route management frameworks is that they enable us to express ROUTES that our REST APIs expose to consuming parties (web apps, backend workers, customer applications) and** assign them a specific execution logic** on how to handle requests that were received by our servers.

Some of the most popular route management frameworks in NodeJS are Express JS, Restify, Fastify, Loopback, Hapi JS, Koa, Loopback, etc.
