• Establish coding standards and architecture
• Implement basic application flow
• Create initial unit tests for the core

Completion criteria:

• Working base implementation of decorators
• Ability to create a minimal application using the H3 framework
• Passing all basic tests

Milestone 2: HTTP Ecosystem

• Working routing system supporting nested paths and parameters
• Functional IOC container supporting dependency injection
• Ability to create and use middlewares

Milestone 3: Modularity and Tooling

Goal: Create a flexible modular architecture with advanced development tools

Key tasks:

• Develop plugin system

Milestone 5: Optimization and Migration

Goal: Optimize performance and prepare the project for migration to the latest technologies

Key tasks:

• Create missing HTTP decorators
• Migrate the entire project to rolldown including dev-server and application build
• Performance optimization
• Code refactoring for greater consistency
• Implement integration tests
• CI/CD - release scripts CI/CD - release scripts #69
• Remove h3 from repo and move to native Request => Response

Completion criteria:

• Complete set of HTTP decorators
• Entire project using rolldown
• Documented performance optimization results
• Completed refactoring of key modules
• Working integration tests

Milestone 6: Finalization and Release

Goal: Prepare the project for public release as a stable library

Key tasks:

• Create detailed documentation ^{(⏳ WIP)}
• Create application initialization command (pnpm create)
• Prepare example projects
• End-to-end testing
• Final security testing
• Benchmarking and performance analysis

Completion criteria:

• Complete documentation with usage examples
• Working command for initializing new projects
• Prepared demonstration applications
• All tests passing successfully
• Project ready for public release of version 0.0.1-beta

Next Steps (after 0.0.1 release):

• Gather community feedback
• Prioritize features and fixes
• Plan for version 0.0.2-beta.0
• Expand plugin ecosystem
• Integration with popular tools and libraries
• Support for Bun / Deno
