# Fast backendsin Dart
Everything your Dart backend needs.
Dox is a web backend framework for Dart, like Laravel. Routing, an ORM, migrations, validation, auth and a CLI come in one place. It runs one isolate per CPU core and builds to a small native binary.

```dart
Route.get('/blogs', BlogController.index); // (1)!
enum Status { active, draft }
@Dto() // (2)!
class BlogFilter {
final Status status; // ?status=active, else 422
const BlogFilter({required this.status});
static const DtoSchema schema =
$BlogFilterDto; // (3)!
}
class BlogController {
static Future> index(
BlogFilter query, // (4)!
) async {
return Blog()
.where('status', query.status.name)
.get(); // (5)!
}
}
```
1. A route points at a static method. No reflection, no controller registry.
2. `@Dto()` marks an input class. `build_runner` generates the checks from the fields and their types.
3. The generated schema. The same schema feeds the OpenAPI docs.
4. Ask for the DTO as a parameter. Dox reads the query (or the body), checks it, and gives you a typed object. Bad input gets a `422` before your code runs.
5. The ORM. The same code runs on Postgres, MySQL and SQLite. Postgres and MySQL use native Rust drivers.
