Genie is a full-stack MVC web framework that provides a streamlined and efficient workflow for developing modern web applications. It builds on Julia's strengths (high-level, high-performance, dynamic, JIT compiled), exposing a rich API and a powerful toolset for productive web development.
Genie is compatible with Julia v1.0 and up.
In a Julia session switch to pkg>
mode to add Genie
:
julia>] # switch to pkg> mode
pkg> add https://github.com/genieframework/Genie.jl
Alternatively, you can achieve the above using the Pkg
API:
julia> using Pkg
julia> pkg"add https://github.com/genieframework/Genie.jl"
When finished, make sure that you're back to the Julian prompt (julia>
)
and bring Genie
into scope:
julia> using Genie
Genie can be used for a variety of tasks, from quickly whipping up a web server to full MVC web apps. Use the following resources to dive into each use case.

Working with Genie apps (projects)
In addition to use cases above, will be coming soon in guides:
- Adding data integrity rules with ModelValidators
- Caching responses
- Using WebSockets and WebChannels
- Setting up an admin area
- Configuring Genie apps
- Publishing Genie apps in production
- The Genie Docker image
- Genie Plugins
- Genie Authentication Plugin
- Genie uses a multitude of packages that have been kindly contributed by the Julia community.
