一个您会喜欢的基于Node的Web开发框架。【学习研究所用,请勿用于生产环境】
A from-scratch Node.js web framework built for learning purposes, written by JacksonTian (a prominent Node.js author in China) around 2012-2013. It manually implements routing, sessions, cookies, static files, and a simple templating system. The README itself says not to use it in production.
Hand-rolling HTTP parsing, cookie handling, and session management in a few hundred lines is actually a decent way to understand what Express abstracts away. The codebase is small enough to read in an afternoon. JacksonTian knows Node internals well, so the patterns here aren't wrong, just minimal. The eventproxy usage shows an early async coordination pattern predating promises.
Last touched in 2017, targeting Node patterns from circa 2012 — no promises, no async/await, callback soup throughout. node_modules are committed directly into the repo. SSL certs are committed too, which is a bad habit to learn from. This is a teaching artifact, not a framework — there's no npm package, no test suite, no documentation beyond two blog post links that are probably dead.
