## What it is
worktop is a lightweight TypeScript web framework for building HTTP APIs on Cloudflare Workers. It provides a router with pattern definitions, middleware support, request/response helpers, and à la carte submodules including KV utilities.

## Use cases
- build a REST API on Cloudflare Workers
- route requests with path patterns in a worker
- read and write Cloudflare KV from an API handler
- add custom middleware to worker request handling
- parse JSON or form request bodies in a worker
- queue background tasks after responding in a worker

## When to choose
- you are building HTTP APIs specifically for Cloudflare Workers
- you want a tiny, treeshakable framework with first-class TypeScript support
- you need routing and KV helpers without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a framework that runs outside Cloudflare Workers
- you want a large ecosystem with extensive plugins and community support
- you need frequent updates or long-term guaranteed maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, routing, middleware, http-server
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: cloud, serverless
- tags: cloudflare-workers, edge-computing, kv-storage, lightweight, serverless, typescript, nodejs
