About Wasp

Wasp is an open-source, full-stack web app development framework designed to accelerate the creation and deployment of web applications. It acts as a compiler, taking a simple `.wasp` configuration file that defines high-level app details and combining it with your custom `.js(x)/.css/...` source files to generate the complete front-end, back-end, and deployment code for your application. This unique approach aims to eliminate boilerplate code, allowing developers to focus on unique logic. The framework is built on popular technologies like React, Node.js, and Prisma, enabling developers to leverage their existing skills while benefiting from Wasp's automation. It provides out-of-the-box solutions for common web development challenges such as full-stack authentication (with social providers or email), a type-safe RPC layer for client-server communication, simplified deployment, and email sending. Wasp is ideal for developers looking to rapidly prototype and build full-stack web applications with reduced development time and effort, particularly those familiar with the React/Node.js/Prisma ecosystem.
