Orator

Orator is a thin abstraction layer over HTTP server implementations (like Restify) for building REST and IPC services. It provides a consistent interface for spinning up web servers with configuration managed through JSON. At version 6.1.2, it supports lifecycle hooks (before/after), static file serving with subdomain-based routing, and integrates with the Fable ecosystem. Unlike Express or Koa, Orator focuses on being unopinionated and composable for microservices. It is released as needed with a moderate cadence.
