Fresh is a next generation web framework, built for speed, reliability, and simplicity.
This full stack modern web framework is built for JavaScript and TypeScript developers, designed to make it trivial to create high-quality, performant, and personalized web applications. You can use it to create your home page, a blog, a large web application like GitHub or Twitter, or anything else you can think of.
At its core, Fresh is a combination of a routing framework and templating engine that renders pages on demand, on the server. In addition to this just-in-time (JIT) rendering on the server, Fresh also provides an interface for seamlessly rendering some components on the client for maximum interactivity. The framework uses Preact and JSX for rendering and templating on both the server and the client.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Just-in-time rendering on the edge.
- Island based client hydration for maximum interactivity.
- Zero runtime overhead: no JS is shipped to the client by default.
- No build step. The code you write is also directly the code that is run on the server, and the code that is executed on the client. Any necessary transpilation of TypeScript or JSX to plain JavaScript is done on the fly, just when it is needed.
- No configuration necessary.
- TypeScript support out of the box.
- File-system routing à la Next.js.
