## What it is
Zero is a zero-configuration web server and framework for Node.js that lets you build web applications by simply dropping files into a folder, with automatic routing, SSR for React/Vue, and built-in hot module reloading. It handles bundling, transpilation, and API endpoint creation without configuration files.

## Use cases
- build a web app without webpack or config files
- serve react pages with server-side rendering
- create api endpoints by just adding files
- prototype a full-stack javascript app quickly
- get hot module reloading out of the box
- mix react and vue pages in one project

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config nodejs web server for rapid prototyping
- you want file-based routing with automatic bundling and SSR
- you are building small-to-medium full-stack javascript apps without tooling setup

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively developed framework with a large ecosystem
- you require fine-grained control over build tooling and deployment
- you are building a large production application needing long-term support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, http-server, ssr, routing, api-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, frontend, developer-tools
