A developer is leading the creation of a new web server for their team that will fulfill API requests from an existing client. The team wants a web server that runs on Node.js, and they want to use the new web framework Minimalist.js. The lead developer wants to advocate for a more seasoned back-end framework that already has a community around it.
Which two frameworks could the lead developer advocate for?
Correct Answer: B,D
The question is about:
Web frameworks that run on Node.js
Used to build servers and APIs
With established communities.
From the given options:
Angular:
A front-end framework running in the browser, not a Node.js server framework.
Gatsby:
A React-based static site generator; uses Node tooling but is not primarily a Node server framework.
Next / Next.js:
Server-side rendering / full-stack frameworks built on Node.js and React.
Used to create both server-rendered pages and APIs.
They have active communities and are "seasoned" compared to a hypothetical Minimalist.js.
Although typical Node back-end frameworks would include Express.js, Koa, or NestJS, given the options provided, the best fits for server-side frameworks with Node.js and an ecosystem are:
Next (interpreted as Next.js)
Next.js
Thus, the correct pair from the list is B and D.
Concepts: Node.js web frameworks, server-side rendering, community-backed frameworks vs minimal/new frameworks.
