mimi.js

mimi.js is a Node.js web framework that emphasizes high performance while remaining compatible with Express APIs. It supports both JavaScript and TypeScript, allowing developers to write route handlers and middleware in their preferred language. The framework includes built‑in utilities such as JWT authentication, bcrypt password hashing, and singleton database adapters for MongoDB (via Mongoose) and SQLite (via Sequelize), simplifying common backend tasks.

A distinctive feature is its automatic route loading: any file placed in a routes/ directory is discovered and mounted at startup without manual imports or wiring, working with both CommonJS and ES modules. Documentation is generated automatically from JSDoc comments, exposing a Swagger UI at /api-docs without additional configuration. The plugin system lets applications extend functionality by registering asynchronous plugins for services like databases or third‑party integrations.

Benchmarks cited on the homepage show the framework handling roughly 89 k requests per second on simple routes, maintaining similar throughput with up to fifty routes, which is presented as several times faster than Express. The design targets developers who need a fast, TypeScript‑first stack with minimal setup overhead and integrated authentication, database, and documentation tooling.
