MNode is a basic skeleton written in JavaScript with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. MNode takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many applications. MNode is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.

A ready-to-use boilerplate for REST API Development with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get your application up and running.
