## What it is
Frontity is an open-source React framework for building fast frontends for headless WordPress sites, consuming content via the WordPress REST API with built-in SSR, routing, and state management. It is no longer under active development; the team moved on to the WordPress Interactivity API.

## Use cases
- build a React frontend for a headless WordPress site
- create a fast SPA blog powered by WordPress REST API
- server-side render WordPress content with React
- decouple WordPress CMS from the presentation layer
- set up a WordPress + React project with zero configuration
- run multiple WordPress sites from one Node.js frontend

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing Frontity project
- you need an opinionated, WordPress-focused React framework with SSR out of the box
- you want prebuilt WordPress REST API data handling and routing

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the framework is unmaintained and PRs/issues are not reviewed
- you want long-term support or security updates
- you prefer actively developed alternatives like Next.js with the WordPress REST API
- you want to build interactive blocks within WordPress itself - use the WordPress Interactivity API instead
