ember.js README

The project's README from github.com/emberjs/ember.js. As one markdown file: README.md.

Ember.js is a JavaScript framework that greatly reduces the time, effort and resources needed to build any web application. It is focused on making you, the developer, as productive as possible by doing all the common, repetitive, yet essential, tasks involved in most web development projects.

With Ember, you get all of these things:

A Welcoming Community - Get the help you need, when you need it.
An Enduring Foundation for your Apps - There are apps that used the first version of Ember almost a decade ago, and successfully still use Ember today.
Reliability & Security - With regular LTS Releases and 30 weeks of security fixes, you can rely on Ember.js to care about the stability and security of your app.
Modern JavaScript - Use modern JavaScript features that you're already familiar with like classes, decorators and generators.
Documentation - Rely on top-notch documentation for each Ember version and a team that is focused on the documentation and learning experience.
HTML-first Components - Start with valid, semantic HTML in your components, and layer in the functionality that you need, as you need it.
Routing - Ember routes respect URLs while layering in extra functionality like rendering templates, loading data models, handling actions, and conditionally redirecting.
Data Layer - Ember Data is a powerful data management tool that comes with Ember apps by default. Want to use something else? We support that, too!
Flexibility Use any backend stack with your Ember apps, thanks to the flexibility of adapters and serializers.
Autotracking - Ember's reactivity model makes it easier to decide what to automatically update, and when.
Zero Config Apps - With strong defaults, you may never need to configure anything in your app, but the options are there if you need it!
Quality Addon Ecosystem - high-quality, rated addons with the ability to search by source code. Many require no additional configuration, making it easier than ever to supercharge your apps.

What is this?

Ember.js is a JavaScript framework for creating ambitious web applications, built to cut the time, effort and resources any web project needs.

Is it a full framework, or a library I assemble myself?

A batteries-included framework: routing, components and a data layer come built in, and strong defaults mean you may never need to configure anything — though the options exist if you do.

Where do I begin with my first Ember app?

Through the official Guides: Ember maintains top-notch documentation for every version with a team focused on the learning experience, so the Quick Start there is the entry point.

Do I bring my own data layer and backend, or does it handle that?

Ember Data ships with every Ember app by default, but you are not locked in: adapters and serializers make it flexible enough to use any backend stack, and swapping the data layer is supported.

Is it only for big ambitious apps, or everyday projects too?

Everyday web development is squarely in scope: the framework takes over the common, repetitive yet essential tasks so you stay productive on most kinds of web projects.

Where do Ember apps actually run?

In the browser: Ember builds web applications and works with any backend stack. Contributing to the framework itself needs Node.js 20.19 or newer.

Is Ember still actively maintained?

Very much so: the repository has been alive since 2011, holds about 22.5k stars, runs CI workflows on pushes and takes part in Hacktoberfest — a mature project, not an abandoned one.

What is the community like if I get stuck?

The README leads with it: a welcoming community where you 'get the help you need, when you need it', plus a website, guides, API docs, a blog and prebuilt builds.

Does Ember work with TypeScript?

Yes — the Ember.js codebase itself is written in TypeScript, and since the framework leans on modern JavaScript like classes and decorators, it fits TS projects naturally.

What are similar projects?

core, angular.js, ui-router, alpine, razzle, bootstrap, vue, svelte

Which topics is it in?

foundation, zero-configuration, javascript-framework, reactive, routing, front-end, components, frontend-framework, hacktoberfest, html, web-app, web-development
