= Express.js

This doesn't do a hole lot. <Ciro Santilli> wouldn't really call it a web framework. It's more like a middleware. Real web frameworks are built on top of it.
Examples under: \a[nodejs/express]:
* \a[nodejs/express/min.js]: minimal example. Visit http://localhost:3000 and it shows `hello world`. It is a bit wrong because the headers say HTML but we return plaintext.
* \a[nodejs/express/index.js]: example dump with automated tests where possible. The automated tests are run at startup after the server launches. Then the server keeps running so you can interact with it.
A live example on <Heroku> can be seen at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/heroku-node-min
