features#
- tiny core, zero runtime bloat; built entirely on top of deno's stdlib
- flexible type-safe routing with first-class support for path parameters, route groups, and wildcard methods
- chainable context helpers and type-safe request/response handling
- composable middleware stack with built-in support for CORS, logging, security headers, rate limiting
- robust file serving featuring ETag caching,
Rangerequests, and security options (e.g. dotfile protection) - native SSE and WebSockets support
- built-in precompiled jsx/tsx renderer
- multipart file uploads and automatic body parsing
- global error handling and cookie jar management
