## What it is
Layr is a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript framework that dramatically simplifies full-stack development by letting frontend and backend share components through cross-layer inheritance, eliminating the need to write APIs. It provides an ORM with MongoDB storage, routing, role-based authorization, and React integration.

## Use cases
- build full-stack apps without writing REST or GraphQL APIs
- share business logic between frontend and backend via cross-layer inheritance
- persist JavaScript components to MongoDB with an ORM
- add role-based authorization to a full-stack app
- build React apps with integrated backend routing

## When to choose
- you want a JavaScript/TypeScript full-stack framework that removes API boilerplate
- your stack is React on the frontend with MongoDB storage
- you like component-oriented models with cross-layer inheritance

## When to avoid
- you need PostgreSQL, MySQL, or transactions (not yet supported)
- you need realtime updates or automatic migrations (still on the roadmap)
- you prefer a framework with a large community and ecosystem
