Cargo-native
Axonyx now ships public crates for the scaffold CLI, Cargo helper, runtime, compiler core, macros, and Foundry UI package.

Rust-first websites with readable .ax files.
Axonyx is a web framework experiment for content-first sites, docs, and future CMS flows: Cargo-native tooling, Foundry UI, static output, and much less JavaScript by default.
Beta status: the first public loop works today. APIs will still change.
Install from crates.io
cargo install create-axonyx
cargo install cargo-axonyx
create-axonyx my-site --yes --template site
cargo ax run dev
Architecture
One framework loop, multiple frontends.
.ax authoring
Pages are authored in JSX-like `.ax` files, routed through `app/**/page.ax`, and checked by `cargo ax check` before build.
The syntax is intentionally familiar for frontend developers while staying explicit enough for humans and AI agents to reason about.
Foundry UI
`axonyx-ui` is consumed as a Cargo package and served through `/_ax/pkg/axonyx-ui/index.css`.
Runtime
Built for sites first, apps next.
Static output
`cargo ax build --clean` writes route HTML and public assets into `dist/` for deployment experiments.
React Adapter
Teams can use the React adapter today at react.axonyx.dev while this native Axonyx site becomes the long-term framework documentation.
Beta Scope
Use it for experiments
Axonyx is ready for early framework sites, docs, landing pages, and architecture feedback. APIs will still change.
Docs
Start small, inspect everything.
