oRPC is a TypeScript framework for building end-to-end typesafe APIs without code generation, combining RPC-style typed clients with first-class OpenAPI support. It supports contract-first design, typed errors, streaming, and integrations with Next.js, TanStack Query, NestJS, and multiple runtimes including Node.js, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers.

Use cases

  • build typesafe APIs in TypeScript without codegen
  • generate OpenAPI spec from TypeScript API definitions
  • replace tRPC with OpenAPI-compatible RPC framework
  • share API types between server and client
  • add typed errors and streaming to API endpoints
  • deploy typesafe APIs to Cloudflare Workers or AWS Lambda
  • integrate TanStack Query with a typesafe backend

When to choose

  • you want end-to-end type safety plus OpenAPI documentation from one definition
  • you need contract-first API development or typed errors and binary/streaming support
  • you target multiple runtimes (Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare, Lambda) with one API layer

When to avoid

  • you need a non-TypeScript stack or language-agnostic clients
  • you want a full general-purpose web framework rather than an API layer
  • you depend on v1 wire-format compatibility during the v2 beta transition
