🚀 Welcome to InertJS

InertJS is an ultra-fast, modern JavaScript web framework that eliminates the complexity of build pipelines like Webpack and Vite. It runs natively on Node.js using ES Modules, allowing you to build dynamic, high-performance web applications instantly.

With built-in out-of-order HTML streaming, an encrypted zero-trust Vault, and a blazing-fast file-system router, InertJS gives you the power to ship faster without sacrificing developer experience.

✨ Core Features

• ⚡️ Zero Build Step: Write native ES Modules and HTML. No bundling, transpilation, or waiting. Just save and refresh.
• 🌊 Vector Engine: The first natively streaming tagged-template HTML engine. Slow database queries won't block the UI—skeletons are sent immediately, and data streams into the DOM asynchronously.
• 🛡️ Vault Security: A proprietary zero-trust secrets manager replacing insecure .env files. Keys are encrypted at rest and only decrypted in-memory.
• 🛣️ Radix Router: Ultra-fast, intuitive file-based routing.
• ⚡️ Pulse SPA: Get Single-Page Application (SPA) navigation out of the box with a tiny 1KB runtime that seamlessly intercepts links and patches the DOM.
• 🔒 Shield: Built-in CSRF protection, CSP (Content Security Policy) nonce generation, rate-limiting, and payload obfuscation.
