## What it is
Jetzig is a full-featured web framework written in pure Zig for building modern web applications. It provides file system-based routing, HTML/JSON responses, templating, sessions, background jobs, and database integration.

## Use cases
- build a web application in Zig
- create a JSON API server
- server-rendered HTML website with templating
- web framework with file-based routing
- background jobs and email delivery in Zig
- REST API backend in Zig

## When to choose
- you want to build web apps in Zig with batteries included
- you need routing, templating, sessions, and jobs in one framework
- you prefer a Rails-like convention-over-configuration experience in Zig

## When to avoid
- you need a mature production framework with a large ecosystem
- you require older Zig compiler versions (only latest nightly supported)
- you need environment configuration or managed email receipt providers, which are not yet implemented

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, routing, templating, middleware, caching, email, testing
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: zig, full-stack, file-based-routing, background-jobs, sessions, linux, macos
