Total.js framework is a full-featured, dependency-free web framework for Node.js written in pure JavaScript, comparable to Laravel, Django, or ASP.NET MVC. It serves as a foundation for web, desktop, service, and IoT applications with built-in WebSockets, RESTful routing, image processing, and static file serving.

Use cases

• build a web application in node.js without npm dependencies
• create a restful api server in pure javascript
• build a real-time app with websockets in node.js
• develop an iot application with a node.js backend
• stream video or ip camera feeds from a node.js server
• build a cms or eshop backend in javascript
• serve and compress static assets just-in-time

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included, zero-dependency Node.js framework
• you need built-in WebSockets, image processing, and static file serving out of the box
• you prefer an MVC-style architecture similar to Laravel or Django in JavaScript
• you are building within the Total.js Platform ecosystem (CMS, Flow, OpenPlatform)

When to avoid

• you want the largest ecosystem and community, where Express, Fastify, or NestJS dominate
• you need heavy third-party npm module integration
• you prefer TypeScript-first frameworks
• you are starting a new project, since the README points to Total.js 4/5 as the current versions
