| description.long | Fresh is a web framework that renders pages on the server by default, serving plain HTML with zero JavaScript to browsers unless you explicitly enable interactive components. It eliminates configuration files, build steps, and node_modules, using Preact-powered islands for selective client-side interactivity. | A free and open-source framework for building type-safe, performant full-stack web applications with Vue.js. Offers server-side rendering by default, file-based routing, auto-imports, and zero-config TypeScript support. |
