There’s no need to tell you everything Express.js is about, you probably know that by now, if you don’t, there are many great articles out there.

What you’ll find here are four most recurring examples of Express.js questions you’re interviewer is likely to ask you. In fact chances are, at least one of these examples will appear in your interview.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s jump right in!

1. What is Express.js?

As I said earlier, you can find this answer in many other great articles. For example you can check out this article.

2. What kinds of apps can be built using Express.js?

You can build the following web applications with Express.js:

  • Single-page,
  • Multi-page, and
  • Hybrid web apps.

3. What are the core features Express.js offers

  • It can render HTML pages dynamically,
  • It allows you to setup “middle-wares” to respond to HTTP requests,
  • It defines a routing table which can work for each HTTP method and URL.

4. Why I should use Express.js?

  • It is light weight
  • It offers an MVC architecture. This makes it easy for subsequent developers to contribute to the code.

That’s all.

This is probably the shortest Express.js interview article you’ve read. We’re not trying to make you work hard. We’re making you work smart.

Do yourself some good and make sure you can answer these four questions perfectly well even in the middle of your sleep.
