Question

Does it make sense to develop a rest service with node.js backed with mongodb? Is there a framework to make this easy like express?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Why can’t you use express? It implements all CRUD methods through:

app.get(...);
app.post(...);
app.put(...);
app.del(...);

In these function calls you can handle your mongodb queries and send JSON objects back to the client, if appropriate.

I hope I could help! 🙂
