## What it is
TreeFrog Framework is a high-speed, full-stack C++ MVC web application framework built on Qt, supporting HTTP and WebSocket protocols. It provides an O/R mapping system, an ERB-like template engine, scaffolding generators, and convention-over-configuration development across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Use cases
- build high-performance web applications in C++
- develop REST/JSON APIs with an MVC framework
- create real-time apps with WebSocket support
- map relational and NoSQL databases via ORM
- scaffold web app projects with generators
- serve web apps with a small memory footprint instead of scripting languages

## When to choose
- you need scripting-language-like productivity but C++-level speed for web backends
- your app must support many databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
- you want a full-stack MVC framework with ORM, templates, and scaffolding in C++
- you need cross-platform deployment including Docker images

## When to avoid
- your team is not comfortable with C++ and the Qt build system
- you want a huge ecosystem of packages and community like Rails, Django, or Node.js
- you only need a lightweight microservice or static site where a full MVC framework is overkill
