WebExpress

With version 0.0.10-alpha , a new development phase of WebExpress begins. This release marks the start of the expansion of the WebExpress.WebApp , which is intended to serve as the central interface in the future. The goal is to develop the WebApp into a powerful template for modern web applications that significantly enhances both the usability and the functionality of WebExpress . Focus on the REST-API The main focus of this iteration lies in the expansion of the REST-API . It forms the backbone of the WebApp and enables clear, consistent communication between the individual modules. New endpoints and interfaces are designed to simplify access to functions, while optimized interfaces improve the overall user experience. A special aspect of this version is that the KleeneStar application is being built as the first major project on WebExpress . The practical experiences gained from the development and use of KleeneStar flow directly into the ongoing advancement of WebExpress . This...

Starting a backend project often means choosing between two extremes. On one side are minimalist frameworks that allow for quick prototyping but become limiting over time. On the other are heavyweight platforms that offer scalability but make the initial setup unnecessarily complex. WebExpress resolves this tension. It provides a clear, modular entry point and grows with your needs, from a simple API to a fully orchestrated enterprise solution. Fast Start with WebExpress.WebCore For many projects, WebExpress.WebCore is all you need. It delivers a complete web server with all essential components for running a modern backend application. There are no unnecessary dependencies, no CSS or JavaScript libraries, and no prebuilt website templates. Instead, developers get a lean, focused foundation that is ideal for APIs, control systems, or server-side services. Starting with WebCore, it is possible to dynamically install AddOns that extend the application. These plugins are designed to be po...

Choosing a programming language is one of the most fundamental decisions when developing a framework. It affects the technical architecture, maintainability, developer experience, licensing model, and long-term viability of the project. In the case of the WebExpress framework, the decision to use C# was made deliberately and for good reason. C# is a modern, object-oriented language with clear syntax and strong typing. It offers advanced language features such as asynchronous programming, LINQ, pattern matching, lambda expressions, and records. These capabilities enable efficient and robust development. For a framework like WebExpress, which emphasizes modularity, clarity, and performance, C# provides an ideal technical foundation. WebExpress follows a consistent approach in which the entire application is developed in C#. Both backend logic and user interface are controlled through the framework’s C# API. The JavaScript components included in WebExpress are abstracted and tightly integ...
