Webroute helps you build self-sufficient, web-standard routes that have everything they need: path, method, I/O shape and validation, middleware and request handler.
It was invented to make building sophisticated APIs easier in the diverse ecosystem of serverless (but also serverful) full-stack and backend development.
Webroute was heavily inspired by tRPC, but built specifically for HTTP. So if you're a fan of either, you'll probably like webroute.
- 👋 Unopinionated and minimal API, by design
- 🔒 End-to-end type safety (including middleware)
- ✅ First-class validation and schema support
- 🕸️ HTTP based
- 🚏 Works well with serverless routes
- 🐳 ...or monolithic backends
A basic webroute might look something like this:
import { route } from "@webroute/route";
const myRoute = route("/user/:id")
.use(authMiddleware)
.params(z.object({ id: z.string() }))
.handle(async (req) => {
// ...do work
});Which is just a regular web-standard request handler:
const response = myRoute(new Request("..."));Being web-standard and self-sufficient, it can be used directly, with no modification, with popular frameworks like Next.js, and Hono or within runtimes like bun, deno and node.

Webroute provides the functionality of a full-blown framework, without being one. Instead, it offers a handful of packages which can be selectively installed to fill in the gaps, when your use case requires it.
Webroute is "full-stack", in the sense it provides utilities and patterns for both the client-side and server-side. However, these client- and server-side tools are not dependent on the other - one can be used without the other.
Webroute works with all runtimes or frameworks that conform to the WinterCG Minimum Web Standard.
