## What it is
re-frame is a ClojureScript framework for building single-page user interfaces on top of React (via Reagent). It uses a data-oriented, functional design with a reactive event-driven model focused on developer productivity and scaling large SPAs.

## Use cases
- build a single-page web app in ClojureScript
- manage application state reactively in a React app
- structure a large SPA with a functional data-oriented architecture
- avoid JavaScript framework churn with a stable frontend stack
- use derived values and pure functions for UI state

## When to choose
- your team knows or wants to use ClojureScript
- you are building a medium-to-large single-page application
- you want a mature, stable framework with minimal technical churn
- you prefer data-oriented, functional state management over component-colocated state

## When to avoid
- your team works primarily in JavaScript or TypeScript
- you need a small lightweight library rather than an opinionated framework
- you rely heavily on the modern React hooks ecosystem
- you are building a non-web or server-rendered application

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: frontend-framework, state-management
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: clojurescript, reagent, react, spa, functional-programming, reactive, web-server
