Lazorse!

Lazorse is a resource-oriented web-framework with a strong emphasis on extensibility and the separation of various concerns into independent middleware layers.

It includes middleware to find a resource, coerce URL parameters, dispatch to HTTP method handlers, and render a response.

It borrows heavily from other awesome node.js web frameworks but with a couple of twists designed to make writing machine-consumable ReSTful APIs a little easier. Because it’s all “just middleware”, you can also pull out and re-arrange the various pieces to better suit the needs of your application.
