No, just a different take on similar functionality now that generators allow us to write code with less - callbacks. Connect is equally capable, and some may still prefer it. - -## Why does Koa have functionality similar to Express? - - Many of the Express request/response methods have been moved to Koa because - they are more useful at the middleware level. If you make the edges smart, - the intermediaries can do less and become more dumb, this reduces and conflicts - when middleware constantly attempt to re-invent the same behaviours such as parsing - signed cookies. - - Additionally it makes writing middleware and applications more enjoyable, when the - mundane every-day HTTP work is less in your face. - - Finally certain behaviours such as signed cookie secret management, and upstream - HTTPS proxy authorization benift greatly from app-level control.
