avoidwork/tenso

Tenso is a Node.js web framework that provides a structured API for building HTTP services, featuring a modular middleware architecture for handling authentication, security, and request processing. It supports a wide range of data formats through dedicated parsers and renderers, including JSON, XML, CSV, and HTML, while offering flexible response serialization strategies. The system includes a browsable API interface with dark mode support and integrates Prometheus metrics for monitoring. The codebase is heavily typed with TypeScript definitions and validated by comprehensive unit tests.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 3 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit df3ba98550 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
