verified May 27, 2026

Lws is a lean, modular web server designed for rapid full-stack development, serving as an application core for quickly launching local HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP2 servers. Its behavior is entirely customizable through a plugin system built on Koa middleware, allowing users to load only the specific functionalities required for their projects. Key differentiators include its small footprint, 100% personalizable nature, support for custom views for activity visualization, and both programmatic and command-line interfaces. The current stable version is 4.2.0. The project maintains an active release cadence, with recent updates focusing on Node.js compatibility and refining its modular plugin architecture.
