Without am "About" page on the website, I can't tell what this framework is for. I've looked over each of the six pages listed, can't tell what to do with this product or why my company may be interested in it.

    A rich framework for building applications and services hapi enables developers to focus on writing reusable application logic instead of spending time building infrastructure. a magical piece of technology whose purpose we’ll never be able to decipher without an about page

  It appears to be a server framework?

  "A rich framework for building applications and services" "hapi enables developers to focus on writing reusable application logic instead of spending time building infrastructure." It's right there on the home page....

    So this is like Django? Or is it like Heroku? Or more like AWS Lambda? Or .NET? Could even be a hip development methodology. I know it is hard to write a good about blurb, but why oh why do so many projects end up with something this vague?

  Like expressjs(in purpose) but less popular and slower.

    Source? Both development time and response time in production has always seemed faster to me.

      There are some (naive) benchmarks available for most http frameworks from fastify guys here: https://github.com/fastify/fastify#benchmarks https://github.com/fastify/fastify#benchmarks

Hapijs is great software that has left me consistently happy, strikes a nice balance between too much, and too little.

Hapi is the best api/server framework for Node. It's structured without being too opinionated.

This link goes to the main Hapi.js website which doesn't really explain much about what's new in v17. From the release notes [0]: "hapi v17.0.0 is a major new version of the framework.... The main change and the motivation for this release is replacing callbacks with a fully async/await interface." I've never used Hapi.js before, but since hearing about how "async/await" support has been implemented I'm definitely going to look into it more.

I was recently wading through Loopback's voluminous docs and gobs and gobs of auto-generated code, trying to figure out how to make a highly customized and flexible REST API that allows things like this: GET /api/crazy/long/path/that/goes/on/forever It's a cinch in Hapi. Hapi is extremely flexible, minimal yet powerful, and a joy to use. Big fan!
