Node.js and REST APIs go hand in hand. In fact, Ryan Dahl (the creator of Node.js) once described the focus of Node.js as "doing networking correctly." But where should you start when building a REST API with Node.js? What components should be used and how should things be organized? These are difficult questions to answer — especially when you're new to the Node.js ecosystem.
You could choose to use low-level packages and lots of custom code to build an API that's highly optimized for a specific workload. Or you could use an all-in-one framework like Sails.js, where many of the decisions have been made for you. There is no right or wrong answer: the best option will depend on the type of project you're working on and where you want to invest your time.
