Restify

Leverages familiar middleware patterns from Connect, allowing easy extension with custom or existing middleware, as demonstrated in the server setup with plugins like acceptParser and queryParser.

Includes essential plugins for query string, request body, and content negotiation parsing, reducing boilerplate code in API development, evidenced in the usage example with server.use calls.

Offers restify-clients for making HTTP requests, useful for testing or consuming APIs, shown in the client code snippet that creates a JSON client to interact with the server.

Facilitates version management through routing and client configuration, aiding in maintaining backward compatibility, as highlighted in the key features for scalable API design.

Engineered for low overhead and high throughput, making it suitable for production deployments where scalability is critical, stated in the description focusing on performance and correctness.
