Express & ES6 REST API Boilerplate

This is a straightforward boilerplate for building REST APIs with ES6 and Express.

• ES6 support via babel

• REST resources as middleware via resource-router-middleware

• CORS support via cors

• Body Parsing via body-parser

Tip: If you are using Mongoose, you can automatically expose your Models as REST resources using restful-mongoose.
