WebSharper
WebSharper is an open-source, full-stack framework for building web applications.
What WebSharper is
WebSharper is an open-source, full-stack framework for building web applications. It supports C# and F# as its primary languages and uses hybrid rendering modes. Deployments can be self-hosted, giving developers that hosting target within the listed framework options. WebSharper does not include an ORM. The framework is available on the web and follows a freemium pricing model. Its Community plan is described as free forever and intended for solo developers, although no specific plan price is listed. These details position WebSharper for developers who want a web framework centered on C# or F# rather than a separate language set. The open-source license model is part of the product definition, while hybrid rendering describes how its applications can render. Developers evaluating it can therefore focus on the stated language choices, rendering approach, self-hosting option and Community plan. The plan is specifically framed for solo work, while the framework itself is full-stack.
