## What it is
DoneJS is an all-in-one JavaScript framework that bundles StealJS, CanJS, jQuery, testing tools, documentation generators, and server-side rendering utilities into a single npm package for building high-performance web and mobile apps. It provides generators, hot module swapping, and cross-platform builds (iOS, Android, desktop) out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a high-performance real-time web application
- set up a complete modern JavaScript stack without choosing tools
- server-side render a CanJS application
- build a web app that also ships to iOS, Android, and desktop
- scaffold a new JavaScript app with testing and CI included
- get progressive loading and minimal DOM updates out of the box

## When to choose
- you want a pre-integrated full stack (loader, MVVM, SSR, testing, docs) with no assembly required
- you are invested in the CanJS/Bitovi ecosystem
- you need isomorphic rendering and real-time features configured by default
- you want one toolchain targeting web, mobile, and desktop

## When to avoid
- you prefer composing your own stack with React, Vue, or modern bundlers like Vite or webpack
- you need a framework with active community momentum and recent releases (last release 2020)
- you want a lightweight library rather than an opinionated all-in-one solution
- you need broad ecosystem support or extensive third-party integrations
