Express better then node with crawlee? Or is it really not any big difference?

Express better then node with crawlee? Or is it really not any big difference?

Hi @IAmKing
There is no need to use express at all.
If you would just want to build a scraper it would be much better to use pure node without any extra complexities.

If you wanna build something more like the basic express API, I recommend you to check out "standby mode" which acts more like a traditional API server.

Thx for the info. Ill stick with normal node.
