In plain English

Refine is a TypeScript framework built on top of React for creating internal-facing web applications such as admin panels, dashboards, and business-to-business tools. It is designed to handle the repetitive work involved in building these kinds of applications, things like data fetching, CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete), and routing, so developers can focus on the parts that are specific to their product. The topics list includes GraphQL and ant-design as integration targets. The README in this repository only contains a file path rather than actual documentation, so a complete explanation is not possible from the provided data alone.
