hapi and node.js to create a REST API Server

Question

I wish to build a web service with lots of data updates and reads and user authentication.

Which one is a better choice among hapi, restify, or express for a Rest API? Please feel free to suggest any other framework which I haven't yet stumbled upon.

After a lot of searching, all the tutorials I could find were using the hapi framework pre v2.0. Could you please suggest me some good tutorials on using hapi and node.js to build a web API server?

I am using MongoDB for the data.

I did research on this, and replied to someone that had a similar question as you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30469767/how-do-express-and-hapi-compare-to-each-other/31223294#31223294 — wle8300.com, Jul 04 '15 at 17:25

Hapi is great, one of the most famous successful implementation was the back-end system of Walmart US, and it survived the Black Friday... Search on YouTube for: "taking a REST and being HAPI"
