express still need “view engines”?

ryouaki opened this issue · comments

Most people on my side use express just for api server。

So, why not remove “view engines” out as a middleware like a single npm package?

Hi @ryouaki , and thanks for opening this discussion. I don't believe anyone has asked for this before. I understand you use Express to make APIs that don't use view engines or res.render . I'm sure there are likely many other features of Express you may also not be using, though. Can you ellaborate on the benefits that removing this would bring to your use-case?
