Features

• Hypermedia-Driven Frontend Libraries - Extends standard HTML attributes to enable dynamic, asynchronous web interactions without complex client-side state management.
• Declarative DOM Manipulation Libraries - A mechanism for updating page content by mapping server responses directly to target elements using standard CSS selectors and configurable swap strategies.
• Declarative Orchestration - Enables complex network behaviors and UI interactions through declarative HTML attributes.
• Declarative UI Interactivity - Defines complex user interface behaviors and network interactions directly within HTML markup.
• Hypermedia-Driven Development - Builds dynamic web applications by extending standard HTML attributes to handle complex interactions.
• Hypermedia Swapping - Updates the document by injecting server-rendered HTML fragments directly into the DOM.
• Progressive Enhancement Frameworks - Builds interactive web applications on top of functional static HTML, ensuring core features remain accessible.
• Attribute-Based AJAX Engines - Intercepts standard browser events and triggers network requests to update specific DOM regions.
• Progressive Enhancement - Transforms standard navigation and form submissions into asynchronous requests while maintaining functional parity.
• Server-Side UI Composition - Updates specific regions of a web page by fetching pre-rendered HTML fragments directly from the server.
• View Transitions - Preserves visual continuity during content updates by synchronizing with browser-native transitions.
• DOM Replacement Strategies - Replaces server-returned content into the page using various methods including inner or outer HTML replacement.
• Progressive Enhancement Workflows - Creates robust web interfaces that function as standard HTML pages while seamlessly upgrading to interactive experiences.
• AJAX Request Triggers - Initiates network requests from any element using custom events and timing modifiers.
• DOM Patching - Updates multiple disconnected page regions simultaneously from a single server response.
• Real-Time UI Synchronization - Maintains live, up-to-date web interfaces by streaming server-side events directly into the DOM.
• WebSocket Integrations - Establishes persistent bi-directional communication channels via simple attribute configuration.
• DOM Element Selectors - Selects specific page elements for content updates using standard CSS selectors and relative positioning.
• Lifecycle Events - Listens for internal state changes to initialize components or customize content updates.
• Lifecycle Hooks - Coordinates application state changes by broadcasting signals for intercepting network and DOM updates.
• Server-Sent Events - Connects to real-time data streams directly from HTML to receive updates without full document reloads.
• WebSocket Communication - Establishes bi-directional connections to send and receive messages directly from HTML elements.
• Behavior Extensions - Defines custom logic and attaches behaviors to specific elements via attributes.
• Browser Navigation Utilities - HTMX updates the browser navigation bar with request URLs and restores previous page states automatically when users navigate back through their history.
• Out-of-Band Updates - Updates multiple distinct page regions in a single server response by targeting specific elements.
• Request Data Handling - Includes form inputs and custom values in network requests while filtering parameters.
• Request Synchronization - Coordinates multiple network requests by managing execution order and aborting redundant tasks.
• Response Handling - Defines custom rules for processing server responses based on HTTP status codes.
