Remix

Full-stack React framework centered on web standards, nested routes, and loaders.

Overview

Remix is a batteries-included, full-stack JavaScript framework designed to close the gap between initial concept and shipping. It combines a server, router, data layer, UI components, and testing tools into a single unified dependency, eliminating the need for a patchwork of separate tools.

The framework is built for both human developers and AI agents, shipping with capabilities that help AI learn the API and follow best practices. Remix provides high-performance components built on web primitives like EventTarget, avoiding React hook semantics to give developers normal JavaScript control flow and seamless integration with web components and third-party libraries.

Remix 3 is currently available as a beta release and supports projects at any stage—from starting something new to scaling into a business or integrating into existing applications.

Use this if

You want a unified full-stack JavaScript framework that handles both frontend and backend, need AI-assisted development capabilities, or prefer an all-in-one solution over managing multiple tools.

Skip this if

You need a stable production release (v3 is currently beta), prefer a lightweight frontend-only framework, or require a framework with extensive third-party plugin ecosystems.
