Koa vs Simplify.Web: What are the differences?
Koa: Next generation web framework for node.js. Koa aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Through leveraging generators Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware; Simplify.Web: An open-source, lightweight and fast server-side .NET web-framework. It is a lightweight and fast server-side .NET web-framework based on MVC and OWIN for building HTTP based web-applications, RESTful APIs etc.
Koa and Simplify.Web can be categorized as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.
Some of the features offered by Koa are:
- Provides 3 different kinds of functions as middleware
- common function

On the other hand, Simplify.Web provides the following key features:
