  Discover the capabilities of Ts.ED, a Node.js and TypeScript framework on top
  of Express/Koa.js.
---

# Capabilities

Ts.ED is a Node.js and TypeScript framework on top of [Express.js](/docs/configuration/express.html), [Koa.js](/docs/configuration/koa.html), [Fastify.js](/docs/configuration/fastify.html). It provides different platform adapters
to build your awesome server-side application.

Depending on the platform you choose, Ts.ED provides a level of abstraction above these common Node.js frameworks with the [Platform API](/docs/platform-api.md)
but some features are not available on all platforms.

You can find below the list of features and plugins provided by Ts.ED and the compatibility with the different platforms.

## Runtime support

(\*) The platform-fastify has some limitations over the platform-express:

* Deep Query Params aren't supported.
* Session has a small issue over serialization (for hidden field), but it works.
