## What it is
Zino is a spec-driven, opinionated framework for building composable web and desktop applications in Rust, with modular crates for ORM, auth, storage, scheduling, and OpenAPI docs. It integrates with actix-web, axum, ntex, and Dioxus, and emphasizes simplicity, extensibility, and productivity.

## Use cases
- build a web API in Rust with axum or actix-web
- rapid application development with an opinionated Rust framework
- ORM for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite via sqlx
- generate OpenAPI documentation from config files
- schedule cron jobs and background tasks
- build a desktop app with Dioxus
- add authentication and authorization to a Rust service

## When to choose
- you want an all-in-one, convention-over-configuration Rust framework
- you need built-in ORM, auth, scheduling, and OpenAPI generation out of the box
- you value API-first development with open standards
- you want unified access to storage services and LLMs

## When to avoid
- you prefer minimal, unopinionated libraries you assemble yourself
- you need a framework with a large ecosystem and long-term stability guarantees
- your project targets a Rust version older than 1.90
- you need non-SQL databases as first-class ORM targets

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, orm, auth, scheduling, api-documentation, middleware, routing, logging, tracing, monitoring
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, apis, databases
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: spec-driven, actix-web, axum, dioxus, sqlx, openapi, cron-jobs, composable-architecture, rapid-application-development, desktop, web-server
