# wasp-lang/wasp

The batteries-included full-stack framework for the AI era. Develop JS/TS web apps (React, Node.js, and Prisma) using declarative code that abstracts away complex full-stack features like auth, background jobs, RPC, email sending, end-to-end type safety, single-command deployment, and more.

## What it is
Wasp is a batteries-included full-stack web framework for building JS/TS apps with React, Node.js, and Prisma, configured via a declarative TypeScript spec file. A compiler generates the client, server, and deployment code, with built-in auth, RPC operations, background jobs, email sending, and end-to-end type safety.

## Use cases
- build a full-stack web app with React and Node.js quickly
- add authentication with Google, GitHub, or email to a web app
- deploy a full-stack app with a single CLI command
- get end-to-end type safety between frontend and backend
- run recurring background jobs in a Node.js app
- send transactional emails without wiring up providers manually
- scaffold a CRUD app with Prisma and React Query
- give AI coding agents a structured framework for generating web apps

## When to choose
- you want a Rails-like opinionated framework for React + Node.js + Prisma
- you want auth, jobs, email, and deployment handled out of the box
- you want minimal boilerplate and easier upgrades in a full-stack app
- you're building apps with AI agents and want guardrails and structure
- you want full-stack type safety without manual wiring

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control over your server architecture or non-React frontends
- your project uses a stack other than React/Node.js/Prisma
- you're building a microservices system rather than a monolithic web app
- you need a framework with a large ecosystem of third-party plugins
