Zever documentation

One schema. Every backend concern. Zero rewiring.

Zever is a schema-driven scaffolding compiler for Go. Describe your domain once in .zen, compile it into validation, ORM, OpenAPI, and DDL, then resolve every backend through one container. Not a web framework: your handlers and business logic stay yours.

Install

Section titled “Install”

One command installs the zever CLI and zever-lsp (no sudo, SHA-256 verified):

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zenta-dev/zever/main/install.sh | sh

Options, upgrade and uninstall are on the installation page.

How it fits together

Section titled “How it fits together”
  1. Describe entities and services in a .zen schema (syntax).
  2. Compile with zever compile into typed ORM, OpenAPI, and migration DDL (backends).
  3. Wire services through one lazy container.Container (container).
  4. Swap adapters (sqlite to postgres, memory to redis) by editing config, never call sites (adapters).
