## What it is
Razzle is a zero-configuration build tool that abstracts webpack setup for server-rendered (universal/isomorphic) and single-page JavaScript applications into a single dependency. It supports React, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and Angular, with hot module replacement for both client and server, plus SPA mode and static site generation.

## Use cases
- build a server-rendered react app without configuring webpack
- create-react-app alternative with ssr support
- universal javascript app with hot reloading on client and server
- use vue or svelte with a preconfigured build setup
- statically export an ssr app to html files
- build a single page application with jest and css setup included

## When to choose
- you want SSR or universal rendering without buying into a full meta-framework like Next.js
- you want to keep freedom over routing, data fetching, and framework choice
- you need hot module replacement on both server and client bundles
- you want SPA and SSG capabilities from the same tool

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project today - Next.js or Remix are more actively maintained
- you need a framework with built-in routing and data-fetching conventions
- you want minimal bundle overhead and no build abstraction layer

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ssr, build-tool, static-site-generator, web-framework, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: webpack, zero-config, universal-javascript, isomorphic, hot-module-replacement, react, preact, vue, svelte, create-react-app-alternative, nodejs, javascript
