tRPC

tRPC is a TypeScript framework for building end-to-end typesafe APIs without code generation or schemas. It leverages TypeScript's type inference to provide full static typesafety and autocompletion between client and server, with zero runtime dependencies. tRPC v11 supports queries, mutations, and subscriptions via HTTP GET/POST and WebSocket adapters for Express, Fastify, Next.js, AWS Lambda, and edge runtimes.

tRPC publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Procedures API. Tagged areas include API Composition, API Framework, BFF, End-to-End Type Safety, and RPC.

The tRPC catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

tRPC’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
