LangChain
An open-source framework for building LLM applications with tools, memory, and retrieval.

Best for
Developers building production LLM apps who want composable primitives instead of a no-code canvas.
Why it deserves attention
LangChain provides integrations for models, vector stores, tools, and retrievers, plus chains and agents that compose them in Python or TypeScript. It is MIT-licensed and has 148,000 GitHub stars, with documentation and a large integration ecosystem. The framework is intentionally low-level, so teams still design prompts, evaluation, and observability themselves; LangSmith is the optional paid tracing platform. Its API has changed across versions, so pin versions and keep abstractions thin.
