Introduction

Buntal JS is a lightweight, modern JavaScript framework designed to simplify web development; with Next.js-like file system routing, type-safe APIs, and focus on performance by leveraging the Bun ecosystem, the fastest runtime ever.

What can I build with Buntal JS?

Our goal is to be a simple web ecosystem, allowing you to build everything from simple static sites to complex web applications. Currently, you can create:

• HTTP servers
• Web applications

Why separate the HTTP server and full-stack web framework?

Our principle is to keep things simple and modular. By separating the HTTP server from the full-stack web framework, you can build API gateways, microservices, or server-side applications without installing React and other unnecessary dependencies.

On the other hand, if you want to build a full-stack web application, you don't need to worry about the HTTP server setup. Buntal JS will handle it for you, allowing you to focus on building your application.

Is it production-ready? When will it be stable?

Buntal JS is unstable, like all of us. It is in the super early stages of development, and we are working hard to make it stable. Please keep an eye on the v1 release for the stable version.
