Dotpress

Dotpress is a lightweight and modern wrapper around Express.js designed for clean and scalable APIs written in TypeScript.

Why Dotpress?

Writing Express apps in TypeScript can be painful:

• Repetitive boilerplate for routing, validation, and errors
• Manual typing for request/response
• Middleware chains that quickly become messy

Dotpress solves this with:

• ✅ Auto-typed request/response via schema definitions
• ✅ Built-in validation using Zod
• ✅ Clean defineRoute() syntax for composable APIs (no decorators here!)
• ✅ Built-in error handling and 404/500 responses
• ✅ First-class support for global and per-route middlewares
• ✅ Developer-friendly DX and sensible defaults
• ✅ Standardized error responses
