What is mg_web_router?

mg_web_router is a Node.js/JavaScript Module that is designed for use with the Node.js interface to mg_web.

mg_web_router abstracts the low-level mg_web protocol to a Router-style interface that has been inspired by Express.js.

mg_web_router, in conjunction with mg_web allows API routes to be directly handled in Node.js with the three main industry-standard Web Servers:

• nginx
• Apache
• IIS

As a result, there is no need to use or run a JavaScript Web Framework, since all the HTTP handling is carried out by the Web Server, and it dispatches directly to a pool of persistent Node.js Child Processes where each API handler is invoked.

In most production scenarios, a JavaScript Web Framework would be proxied behind one of the industry-standard web servers anyway, and in doing so, performance of both the front-line Web Server and the proxied JavaScript Web Framework are significantly reduced.

mg_web, together with mg_web_router, therefore makes a JavaScript Web Framework redundant, and creates a very high-performance API server platform without any unnecessary duplication of the HTTP service.
