Documentation

Build Status Test Coverage npm version

bi-service is an abstraction layer with common interface for creating not-only web applications but also any apps that match the request & response pattern whether an underlying communication protocol is HTTP, AMQP (message queues), IPC or other..
Emphasis is put among other features on product API documentation, validation, error handling and automation of perpetually repeated tasks.

Why?
So that basic project foundations and application architecture doesn't need to be invented again and again for each (web) service.
The project empowers minimalistic but mature libraries like express and does its job on top of them striving for clean scalable, testable and consistent applications.
