Readme
mxn-connect is a fork of connect, a simple and extensible HTTP server framework for Node.js using "plugins" known as middleware.
The core of mxn-connect is "using" middleware. Middleware are added as a "stack" where incoming requests will execute each middleware one-by-one until a middleware does not call next() within it.
$ npm install mxn-connect
Use it like this:
// HTTP server
const http = require("http");
// MXN Connect Framework and Middleware
const connect = require("mxn-connect");
const logging = require("mxn-logger");
const favicon = require("mxn-favicons");
const sstatic = require("serve-static");
// Instantiating the App
const app = connect();
// Adding Middleware
app.use(logging);
app.use(favicon(__dirname + "/public/icons"));
app.use(sstatic(__dirname + "/public"));
// Respond to all requests
app.use(function(req, res) {
res.end("Hello from MXN Connect!\n");
});
// Create node.js http server and listen on port
const options = { };
const server = http.createServer(options, app).listen(3000, function() {
console.log("Server is running on port " + 3000);
});
server.on("error" , function(error) {
console.error("Error event handler called: " + error);
});
These middleware and libraries are officially supported by the Connect/Express team:
bodyParser, json, and urlencoded. You may also be interested in:

Some middleware previously included with Connect are no longer supported by the Connect/Express team, are replaced by an alternative module, or should be superseded by a better module. Use one of these alternatives instead:
cookieParser
limit
multipart
query
staticCache
