# Connect
Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for [node](http://nodejs.org), providing high performance "plugins" known as _middleware_.
Connect is bundled with over _20_ commonly used middleware, including
a logger, session support, cookie parser, and [more](http://senchalabs.github.com/connect). Be sure to view the 2.x [documentation](http://senchalabs.github.com/connect/).
```js
var connect = require('connect')
, http = require('http');
var app = connect()
.use(connect.favicon())
.use(connect.logger('dev'))
.use(connect.static('public'))
.use(connect.directory('public'))
.use(connect.cookieParser())
.use(connect.session({ secret: 'my secret here' }))
.use(function(req, res){
res.end('Hello from Connect!\n');
});
http.createServer(app).listen(3000);
```
