The Dext Framework is a comprehensive, modular full-stack framework for Delphi (v11+) designed to bring modern web development patterns to the native Delphi ecosystem. It is Apache 2.0 licensed and provides a coherent set of libraries covering web API construction (minimal APIs, MVC controllers, middleware pipeline, SignalR-compatible real-time hubs), an ORM with code-first migrations, dependency injection, background jobs, event bus, resilience pipeline, testing/mocking utilities, desktop UI patterns (MVU/MVVM with VCL binding), AI integration (MCP server, agent graph), CLI tooling, and telemetry/dashboard. The architecture is heavily inspired by ASP.NET Core/EF Core, with fluent builders (`TDextServices`, `TApplicationBuilder`), specification pattern, attribute-based configuration, and a focus on zero-allocation performance (custom SIMD-optimized collections, ring-buffer logging, direct codecs). It includes extensive documentation (The Dext Book in English and Portuguese), benchmark harnesses, and 40+ example applications covering real-world use cases from simple CRUD to multi-tenant e-commerce. The codebase is actively maintained, with multi-version Delphi support (XE2 through 13), community database drivers (UniDAC), and a growing ecosystem of IDE integration and design-time tooling.
