High-performance, fully type-safe, and modern web framework for TypeScript. Powered by Rust for extreme speed and low memory usage.


  • Extreme performance โ€“ Rust core optimized for extreme speed & efficiency. See the benchmarks.
  • Type-safe โ€“ full TypeScript support with end-to-end safety and exceptional DX.
  • Schema validation โ€“ built-in validation with zero bloat.
  • Middleware system โ€“ composable and flexible like you expect.
  • Cross-platform โ€“ runs on Node.js, Bun, and Deno.

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

You can add Kito to an existing project:

pnpm add kitojs

# Or: npm/yarn/bun add kitojs
# Or: deno add npm:kitojs

Or create a new project instantly with the official starter:

pnpm create kitojs

# Or: npm/yarn/bun create kitojs
# Or: deno init --npm kitojs

Minimal Example

import { server } from "kitojs";
const app = server();

app.get("/", ({ res }) => {
  res.send("hello world!");
});

app.listen(3000);
Fluent style

Kito also supports fluent style. You can chain all methods. See the examples here.
