Not all modern frameworks are created equal. These five score highest across our combined security + AI-readiness + ecosystem dimensions.
1. FastAPI — 83/100
Pure API framework. OpenAPI by default. JSON by design. If you're building something that machines will consume, FastAPI is purpose-built for it. AI-Readiness: 95/100.
2. Astro — 84/100
Content-first. Islands architecture. Clean semantic HTML with zero JavaScript by default. RSS built-in. The framework that Cloudflare and Netlify chose for themselves. AI-Readiness: 92/100.
3. Next.js — 82/100
The default choice for web applications. React Server Components, API routes, ISR. The headless CMS ecosystem orbits around it. AI-Readiness: 88/100.
4. SvelteKit — 78/100
Lean HTML output, minimal JavaScript payload, built-in API endpoints. The best developer experience of any framework we track (DX: 70/100). AI-Readiness: 85/100.
5. Hugo — 75/100
Pure static. Blazing fast build times. Clean HTML, RSS, JSON output, structured data templates. Zero runtime, zero attack surface. AI-Readiness: 88/100.
