Wasp

App Builders

Overview

A configuration-based framework for building full-stack web apps with React, Node.js, and Prisma. Its AI features allow you to generate entire applications from a single description, managing the boilerplate automatically.

Wasp is an open-source framework that uses a concise config file to describe a full-stack app, then generates the React, Node.js, and Prisma boilerplate around your code. Its AI starter (MAGE) can generate an entire app from a description. The result is AI output that is structured, scalable, and maintainable by humans.
