Bridge

Bridge is a TypeScript-based Node.js framework designed to simplify the creation of REST APIs while automatically generating client SDKs. It targets both frontend and backend developers familiar with Node.js and TypeScript, aiming to streamline API development with strong typing and scalable architecture. Bridge supports integration with popular Node.js frameworks like Express and offers flexible data validation options such as Zod, Yup, or Superstruct.

The framework stands out by combining ease of use with powerful features like multi-method endpoints, middleware handlers, and seamless client code generation through Bridge Studio. This enables teams to maintain type safety across client and server boundaries, reducing runtime errors and improving developer productivity. Bridge also provides a CLI and a web platform for managing projects, fetching SDKs, and accessing generated API documentation.

Bridge is actively maintained and has a growing user base, with adoption in projects that require robust API solutions with minimal boilerplate. Developers can quickly get started using the create-bridge-app CLI, and comprehensive documentation is available on the official website. The framework’s design encourages clean, maintainable code and supports complex API scenarios without sacrificing simplicity.
