What is koa?
Koa is a web framework for Node.js that provides a lightweight foundation for building HTTP applications using middleware. It simplifies request handling through async/await syntax and a clean context object, making it easier to write and reason about server logic compared to Express or other frameworks. Developers choose Koa when they want a minimal, modern framework that gives them flexibility in structuring their application without enforcing heavy conventions.
