Overview

Lithium is a web framework that prioritizes speed and simplicity. It's designed for developers who appreciate an opinionated approach, meaning it provides a clear structure and set of conventions to follow, which can significantly accelerate development by reducing decision fatigue and boilerplate code. This focus on minimalism ensures that applications built with Lithium are lean and performant, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic APIs and services where every millisecond counts. The framework's open-source nature fosters a collaborative environment, allowing developers to contribute and improve the core. While its opinionated design might require some initial adjustment for newcomers, it ultimately leads to more consistent and maintainable codebases. Lithium aims to provide just enough structure to be productive without imposing unnecessary complexity, striking a balance between flexibility and guidance for building robust web applications.
