trench

:large_orange_diamond: Simplistic, promise-based web framework for node.

Features

Supports new ES6 features such as Promises and Sets.
Supports all HTTP methods listed in http.METHODS.
Prioritises speed and simplicity over a large feature-set or extensive options.
API modeled on the ever-popular Express.
In equivalent "Hello, World!" examples, it's faster than both hapi and Express.
