Get Hyper-Express to feature parity with Express about hyper-express HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey, so the next major hurdle for achieving feature parity with Express would be the routes / middlewares system.
Currently, HyperExpress takes a different approach from Express.js where Middlewares are executed in a hierarchical manner (Most shallow path to most deep) and Handlers are not middlewares and cannot be yielded. This system can be re-written to match Express.js but would be a major breaking change and likely make existing applications built on top of hyper-express ineligible for uprade unless major work to validate all routes of an existing application were done since the fundamental execution order changes.

Furthermore, there are other minor / associated features which would need to be added although those are not a big issue and not major blockers.

I initially wrote and actively use hyper-express within my own products and a lot of our earlier user and adopters have been around since v4 since which most major changes have not been extremely breaking but rather property renames, removals, schematic changes etc etc.

With the above in mind, the project has attained its identity as "similar" / "familiar" to Express rather than drop-in replacement.

I have also just been extremely busy with my business hence have not had too much time to put towards the next major version.

I think the first step would be to create a discussion which is strictly maintained to contain missing features or incompatibilities between hyper-express and express as mentioned in #218 (reply in thread)

From here onwards, the community can gradually begin to plan and make PRs which can reduce the gap while ideally prioritizing less / non-breaking features first and lower difficulty vs. the more breaking and relatively complex changes such as re-writing the routing system.

I am not sure If you already have a discussion for the above or would like me to make one but I would be glad to provide as much support as I can within limited available time.

You can move this issue to discussions if you like. That would be great.

Would be nice too, if you could at least break down the list of tasks roughly to the best of your knowledge to get the ball rolling. I've enhanced the list from what you wrote above.

Thanks.
