Ask HN: What framework/libs are you using for building RESTish APIs in Node.js?
I'm looking for a suitable framework for building medium-sized* Node.js APIs and I want to know what you are using or would recommend.
Ideally, it should:
* automatically build RESTful routes based on models (incl. relations), if not, make it easy for the developer to implement that
* use MVC concepts like controllers, filters and such
* support simple authorization/authentication (i.e. acl, bearer)
* be flexible/customizable (e.g. don't force me to use Whatever_Case on my database tables and such)

Currently, I'm using the following, hacked together: express.js, bookshelf.js/knex.js (models), passport.js and acl (auth). These are fine if your project is small, but when it grows, it gets messy.
So, what frameworks are you using?

*by medium-sized, I mean something like an invoice creating API
