Elysia
Ergonomic Framework for Humans
Elysia is a TypeScript web framework optimized for Bun that emphasizes end-to-end type safety, high performance, and developer ergonomics. It uses a single schema as the source of truth for request validation, type inference, and OpenAPI documentation generation. Elysia supports multiple validators, WebSockets, OpenTelemetry, and client-server type sharing via its Eden client.
Developers define a schema once that drives runtime request validation, TypeScript type inference, and OpenAPI documentation generation, all within a fluent API running on the Bun runtime.
