Use Cases & Benefits
- Implements a JavaScript/TypeScript-native, low-boilerplate object-capability RPC system for bidirectional remote procedure calls.
- Enables expressive, schema-free RPC with promise pipelining and function/object references using human-readable JSON serialization.
- Use for building interactive web applications requiring efficient bidirectional RPC over HTTP, WebSocket, or postMessage in modern JS runtimes.
- Use for integrating secure, capability-based RPC communication in Cloudflare Workers or Node.js environments with minimal overhead.
- Use for creating type-safe, pipelined API clients and servers in TypeScript that leverage automatic batching and resource disposal.

General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Cap'n Web is a spiritual sibling to Cap'n Proto (and is created by the same author), but designed to play nice in the web stack. That means:
The whole thing compresses (minify+gzip) to under 10kB with no dependencies.
