TanStack

Suite of open-source, headless, and type-safe libraries designed for modern web development.

Overview

TanStack is a suite of open-source, headless, and type-safe libraries designed for modern web development. Its tools are framework-agnostic, allowing developers to share the same core logic across React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript.

The stack includes highly popular libraries such as TanStack Query for data fetching and state synchronization, TanStack Router, TanStack Table, and TanStack Form. Built with TypeScript from the ground up, TanStack focuses on providing robust autocomplete, compile-time safety, and high performance for production-grade applications.
