## What it is
TSRPC is a TypeScript RPC framework providing runtime type checking and binary serialization derived directly from TypeScript types, without an IDL like protobuf. It supports HTTP and WebSocket transports and targets full-stack TypeScript development for websites, apps, and games.

## Use cases
- build type-safe APIs between a TypeScript server and client
- replace protobuf with TypeScript-based binary serialization
- implement real-time WebSocket APIs for games or chat
- add runtime type checking to API request/response validation
- develop a full-stack TypeScript app with shared protocol definitions

## When to choose
- your entire stack is TypeScript and you want end-to-end type safety
- you need high-performance binary serialization without learning an IDL
- you are building game or app backends over HTTP or WebSocket

## When to avoid
- your backend is not written in TypeScript
- you need broad language client support or a large ecosystem like gRPC
- you prefer REST conventions or OpenAPI tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: framework

- domain: backend, web-development, developer-tools, apis
- platform: cross-platform
