koa

We have hosted the application koa in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about koa:

Koa is a minimal, expressive web framework for Node.js created by the team behind Express, built around modern JavaScript features. Its middleware system uses async functions and an �onion� execution model, producing clean, sequential control flow for request/response handling. Koa keeps the core small and unopinionated�there�s no built-in router or templating�so developers compose only the pieces they need. The framework exposes a refined Context object to standardize request and response utilities without obscuring Node�s primitives. This design encourages readable middleware, robust error handling, and straightforward composition for tasks like authentication, logging, and body parsing. In production, Koa�s simplicity and async-first approach translate to predictable performance and maintainable server code.

Features:

• Minimal core (~550 lines of code) with no bundled middleware, making it highly modular and flexible
• Uses async functions (and previously generators) for middleware, simplifying flow control and reducing callback hell
• Middleware is composed in a cascading (down/up-stream) stack, giving fine-grained control over request/response lifecycle
• Provides a unified Context object (ctx) encapsulating request and response, along with useful helper methods
• Includes utilities for content negotiation, redirects, proxy support, and more, while still staying lightweight
• Exception and error handling are improved with async/await semantics, reducing bugs and improving reliability

Programming Language: JavaScript.
