I am a newbie for node js. What is the use of express JS? According to my understanding it is used for web projects and has some templates like Jade and CSS.
Is there anyother extra features in express.js that make it more dominating than node.js? Which one is better node.js or express.js when it comes to server side coding? Diff. between Express.js and node.js.
Kindly help. Thanks.

Node. js is a platform for building the i/o applications which are server-side event-driven and made using JavaScript. Express. js is a framework based on Node.
ExpressJS is a prebuilt NodeJS framework that can help you in creating server-side web applications faster and smarter. Simplicity, minimalism, flexibility, scalability are some of its characteristics and since it is made in NodeJS itself, it inherited its performance as well.
The most common use for Node. js is writing Web applications, and a large percentage of these web applications today are using Express. js as their server framework. Express can be used to create JSON APIs, Server-side rendered web applications, or Microservices.
I would just get going with Express. js, if you already have general knowledge about programming and JavaScript. It is very simple, so you can make a web server in one script, handlers and all. If you go for a new version of node.
The comparison is not entirely correct. The difference between node.js and express.js in the level of abstraction:
So, if you write web-application, you can try to use Express.js. In all other cases, it does not suit for you.
