## What it is
Aurelia 2 is a standards-based front-end JavaScript/TypeScript framework for building browser, mobile, and desktop single-page applications with minimal framework intrusion and convention over configuration. This repository is the monorepo containing its core packages, plugins, examples, benchmarks, and documentation.

## Use cases
- build a single-page application with a modern javascript framework
- create a progressive web app with data binding
- develop cross-platform apps for browser, mobile, and desktop from one codebase
- build components from plain typescript classes with html templates
- migrate away from heavier frameworks like angular with less boilerplate
- two-way bind form inputs with debouncing and conditional rendering

## When to choose
- you want a frontend framework that stays close to web standards with vanilla JS/TS classes and HTML templates
- you prefer convention over configuration and minimal framework intrusion
- you need one framework targeting browser, Electron, and Cordova/mobile apps
- you value powerful built-in templating and binding syntax

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, long-term-supported framework - Aurelia 2 is still in beta with possible breaking changes
- your team relies on a huge ecosystem of ready-made components and hiring pools like React or Vue
- you want server-side rendering as a first-class built-in feature
- you prefer explicit configuration over conventions
