## What it is
React Transmit is a Relay-inspired React data-fetching library that uses Promises instead of GraphQL. It provides a higher-order component (createContainer) API for composable, isomorphic data queries with server-side rendering and React Native support.

## Use cases
- fetch data for React components without GraphQL
- server-side render React components with data
- compose promise-based data fragments like Relay
- use Relay-style containers with plain REST APIs
- fetch data in React Native apps

## When to choose
- you want Relay-like data containers but prefer Promises over GraphQL
- you need isomorphic data fetching with server-side rendering in React

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library (last release 2017)
- you already use GraphQL and can use official Relay
- you use modern React with hooks or server components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ssr, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, relay-inspired, promises, higher-order-components, data-fetching, react-native, nodejs, web-server
