I like the design of the API, but I don't understand what you mean by "built on top of express?" I see you have express in a plugin module, but I'm not sure how it's being used.

It is being used underneath to connect all of the moving parts.

In the package.json you can see its a dependency of the project. So it seems like its more of an abstraction of Express than an alternative.
