#Compatibility

Estimated reading time: less than 1 minute

#Runtimes

Kita Html works on Node.js 20.13 and later. Bun is fully supported and uses its native Bun.escapeHTML for faster escaping. Deno is untested but expected to work since the library has no native dependencies.

#TypeScript

TypeScript 5.0 or later is required. TypeScript 5.9+ is recommended for full compatibility with the latest type definitions.

The native TypeScript compiler tsgo works for building projects that use Kita Html. The language service plugin (@kitajs/ts-html-plugin) requires the standard TypeScript language server and does not work with tsgo.

#Module system

The packages emit CommonJS. ESM consumers can import them with esModuleInterop enabled in tsconfig.json.

#Frameworks

Official framework integrations exist for Fastify (4.x and 5.x) and Elysia. Kita Html also works with any framework that accepts strings: Express, Hono, Bun's built-in server, AdonisJS, and others. Send the string or stream directly in the response body.

#Editors

The XSS detection plugin works in any editor that supports TypeScript language service plugins. VS Code requires the workspace TypeScript to be selected instead of the built-in version.
