Connect

Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for node using "plugins" known as middleware.

var connect = require('connect')
  , http = require('http');

var app = connect()
  .use(require('compression')())
  .use(require('')())
  .use(require('')())
  .use(function(req, res){
    res.end('Hello from Connect!\n');
  });

http.createServer(app).listen(3000);

Connect 3.0

Connect 3.0 is in progress in the master branch. The main changes in Connect are:

Middleware will be moved to their own repositories in the expressjs organization
All node patches will be removed - all middleware should work without Connect and with similar frameworks like restify
Node 0.8 is no longer supported
The website documentation has been removed - view the markdown readmes instead

If you would like to help maintain these middleware, please contact @jongleberry.
