# expresso-router

![example workflow name](https://github.com/newtang/expresso/workflows/Node.js%20CI/badge.svg)

A faster, safer, backwards compatible router alternative for Express.

```js

const express = require('express');

const expresso = require('expresso-router');

const router = expresso();

router.get('/', function (req, res) {

  res.send('Hello World');

});

app.use(router);

app.listen(3000);

```

## Installation

```sh

npm install expresso-router

```

## Features

**Speed**

- [significantly faster than the default Express original router](API.md#Speed), especially for static and parameterized routes

**Compatibility**

 - highly compatible with Express [APIs](API.md). A drop-in replacement in many cases.

 - also compatible with [Node's built in http server](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_createserver_options_requestlistener). 

**Safety**

 - Prevents common sources of error by default by throwing easy-to-understand exceptions when creating invalid or overlapping routes

 - Disallows suboptimal choices, such as regular expression routes, unless explicitly allowed

 - [Order independent](API.md#route-order-independence). The order you add routes shouldn't matter. Expresso will match by specificity.
