Important
Kito is still in development and is not available at this time. When this notice is removed, you will know that the framework will be available.
Kito is a high-performance backend web framework for TypeScript, written in Rust. It offers an end-to-end type-safe API inspired by ExpressJS with optional tRPC capabilities. Kito is designed for developers who value performance, simplicity, and flexibility.
import { server } from 'kitojs';
const app = server();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello, world!');
});
app.listen(3000);Kito is the fastest backend framework in the JavaScript ecosystem. By leveraging the performance of Rust, Kito outperforms traditional frameworks like Express by an incredible margin. To put it in perspective: Kito is +1400% (x15) faster than Express.
Req/s: Higher is better.
Latency: Lower is better.
Kito's impressive speed stems from a Rust core that minimizes JavaScript's inherent performance limitations, making it ideal for demanding applications that require exceptional speed and scalability. See more benchmarks here.
