Morgan HTTP Request Logger

Morgan is a widely-used HTTP request logger middleware for Node.js applications, primarily used alongside the Express framework. It was created as part of the early Node.js ecosystem to simplify the tracking of web requests, providing developers with automated logs for method types, status codes, and response times.

Originally developed by the Express.js team and contributors within the open-source community, Morgan is a key component of the 'expressjs' organization. Today, it is maintained as an open-source project under the MIT License, meaning its 'manufacturing' or development happens globally through contributions from developers around the world. Because it is community-driven software, it is not owned by a traditional consumer goods corporation but remains under the stewardship of the OpenJS Foundation.
