Chapter 6: Building Apps and Services with the Hapi.js Framework
by Mark Brown
Hapi.js is described as “a rich framework for building applications and services”. Hapi’s smart defaults make it a breeze to create JSON APIs, and its modular design and plugin system allow you to easily extend or modify its behavior.
The recent release of version 17.0 has fully embraced async and await, so you’ll be writing code that appears synchronous but is non-blocking and avoids callback hell. Win-win.
