## What it is
vapor.js is a satirical JavaScript 'framework' consisting of zero lines of code, jokingly marketed as the world's smallest and fastest library. It is a well-known community joke mocking framework bloat rather than a real tool.

## Use cases
- make a joke about javascript framework bloat
- include an empty script tag for fun
- demonstrate the smallest possible javascript library
- use as a humorous placeholder in a project
- teach a lesson about unnecessary dependencies

## When to choose
- you want a humorous gag dependency or a punchline about framework size

## When to avoid
- you need any actual functionality in a JavaScript library
- you are building a real production application
- you expect documentation, features, or maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: joke, novelty, zero-dependency, minimalist, satire, nodejs
