Creating a Hapi web app
Hapi is a fairly recent addition to the Enterprise web framework offerings.

With a contrasting philosophy and approach to Express (and other middleware frameworks such as Koa and Restify) Hapi may be better suited to certain and preferences. For instance, teams in large organizations that have a leaning towards Object Oriented Programming, particularly where Java is the prevailing tradition, may find Hapi more fitting to the cultural proclivities.

$ mkdir app$ cd app$ npm install --save hapi inert
How to do it...
