 Express is a routing and middleware web framework that has minimal functionality of its own: An Express application is essentially a series of middleware function calls.
 
-_Middleware_ functions are functions that have access to the [request object](/{{ page.lang }}/4x/api.html#req)  (`req`), the [response object](/{{ page.lang }}/4x/api.html#res) (`res`), and the next middleware function in the application's request-response cycle. The next middleware function is commonly denoted by a variable named `next`.
