Introduction

You are reading the Meteor 3 documentation!

Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript platform for developing modern web and mobile applications. Meteor includes a key set of technologies for building connected-client reactive applications, a build tool, and a curated set of packages from the Node.js and general JavaScript community.

  • Meteor allows you to develop in one language, JavaScript or TypeScript, in all environments: application server, web browser, and mobile device.

  • Meteor uses data on the wire, meaning the server sends data, not HTML, and the client renders it.

  • Meteor embraces the ecosystem, bringing the best parts of the extremely active JavaScript community to you in a careful and considered way.

  • Meteor provides full stack reactivity, allowing your UI to seamlessly reflect the true state of the world with minimal development effort.

  • Meteor offers flexibility in front-end development, allowing you to choose your preferred framework such as React, Vue, Blaze, Svelte, or Solid.

  • Meteor simplifies back-end and front-end integration through Methods, its built-in Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system for seamless communication.

  • Meteor includes a ready-to-use Login and Accounts package, eliminating the need to rebuild authentication systems for your applications.
