- [Instructor] We've built an API with endpoints from scratch using Express in this course. However, there are other libraries worth exploring if you want to save some time or get more benefits from these libraries. I always think it's great to first build one on your own so you learn the basics and the syntax then borrow from other libraries to be more efficient. Here are some of the potential options. Go to koajs.com and if you like Express but would like to get more for less, koa is a great option built from the same people who did Express. For instance, and if you're familiar with ES 6 syntax, you can use generators instead of callbacks. They also remove middleware to make the library smaller and there is much more to explore. Feel free to take a look at it. Go to swagger.io. Then if you'd like to get a full fledged pre-built API, you could either use Swagger or LoopBack, which is LoopBack.io. I haven't worked with…
