Four Languages, One API
Python, Node.js, PHP, and Ruby share the same project structure, CLI commands, template syntax, and .env variables. Learn one, know all four.

The Intelligent Native Application 4ramework

Sub-3KB Reactive Frontend
Signals, tagged template literals, and Web Components. The entire frontend framework fits under 3KB gzipped. No virtual DOM. No build step. No complexity.
Zero-Dependency Node.js
Tina4 Node.js ships with zero runtime dependencies. No native addons, no node-gyp, no platform binaries. SQLite runs through Node 22's built-in module.
Routing in Every Language
Define a route. Return a response. The framework handles the rest. ASGI in Python, HTTP in Node.js, PHP, and Ruby. Same patterns across all four.
Built-in WebSocket Support
Real-time communication across all backends. Connect a client, send a message, receive a response. Chat apps, live dashboards, notifications -- all handled.
Twig Templating Everywhere
One template engine across Python, Node.js, PHP, and Ruby. Variables, loops, inheritance, macros. Write your layout once and render it in any language.
One-Line CRUD Generation
Define an ORM model. The framework generates CRUD interfaces and migrations for SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL. No boilerplate. No ceremony.
Swagger at /swagger
Add a description decorator to your route. Visit /swagger. Your API documentation appears -- typed, grouped, and ready for your team to use.
JWT Authentication Built In
Token-based auth, session management, and middleware. GET routes are public. POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE require a bearer token. Security by default.
