## What it is
Smoke Framework is a lightweight server-side service framework written in Swift, built on SwiftNIO for its networking layer. It supports REST-like and RPC-like services with JSON payloads and can generate service scaffolding from Swagger/OpenAPI models.

## Use cases
- build a REST API server in Swift
- create RPC-style backend services with SwiftNIO
- generate a Swift service from an OpenAPI/Swagger spec
- write testable server-side handlers with dependency injection via context
- deploy lightweight JSON microservices on Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured web framework with templating or ORM support
- your team primarily uses Go, Java, or Node for backend services
- you need extensive middleware ecosystem or community plugins
- you require frequent updates - the project is in maintenance mode
