Overview

ABP Framework is a powerful and opinionated application framework for building modern web applications with .NET and C#.

The framework comes with a rich set of pre-built modules for common application features like identity, CMS, and SaaS, significantly reducing development time.

Beyond the core framework, ABP offers a suite of development tools including ABP Studio for visual project management, ABP Suite for automated code generation from database schemas, and a CLI for command-line operations.
