## What it is
Genie.jl is the core of the Genie Framework, a full-stack, MVC-style web framework for the Julia language providing routing, templating, authentication, caching, and a built-in web server. Together with companion packages like Stipple.jl (reactive low-code UIs) and SearchLight.jl (ORM), it targets fast development of data-centric web apps and dashboards.

## Use cases
- build web apps and REST APIs in Julia
- create interactive data dashboards from Julia code
- turn a Julia notebook or model into a shareable web app
- build CRUD apps backed by Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite without writing SQL
- serve machine learning models via a web API
- build reactive UIs in pure Julia with low-code macros

## When to choose
- your team already works in Julia and wants performant server-side code
- you need data-centric apps or dashboards with reactive UIs
- you want a full-stack framework with ORM, auth, and plugins in one ecosystem
- you prefer low-code macros over writing HTML/JavaScript

## When to avoid
- your stack is JavaScript/Python-centric with no Julia expertise
- you need a minimal microframework or a huge ecosystem of third-party middleware
- cold-start latency from Julia JIT compilation is unacceptable
- you need non-relational database support out of the box
