htmz

htmz is a minimalist HTML microframework that gives you the power to create modular web user interfaces with the familiar simplicity of plain HTML.

- Plain: Use straight up HTML. No supersets. No hz- ng- hx- v- w- x-; no special attributes. No DSLs. No <custom-elements>. Just vanilla HTML. - Lightweight: 166 bytes in total. Zero dependencies. Zero JS bundles to load. Not even a backend is required. Just an inline HTML snippet. - Nofilter: No preventDefaults. No hidden layers. Real DOM, real interactions. No VDOM, no click listeners. No AJAX, no fetch. No reinventing browsers.

In a nutshell, htmz lets you swap page fragments using vanilla HTML code. Imagine clicking a link, but instead of reloading the whole page, it only updates the relevant portion of the page. htmz is an experiment inspired by htmx, Comet, ‘HTML As The Engine Of Application State’, and other similar web application architectures.
