tinyhttp is a modern Express-like web framework written in TypeScript and compiled to native ESM, that uses a bare minimum amount of dependencies trying to avoid legacy hell. With depending only on 6 modules (5 of which are tinyhttp's), it gives you routing, req / res extensions, eTag generation and more. All middleware that was created for Express, works flawlessly with tinyhttp, including typings. Unlike Express, tinyhttp supports async / await for routes. There are proper typings for async handlers, and a function checker inside tinyhttp to resolve async functions and execute sync ones. To say shorter, both sync and async work fine.
