htmx

High power tools for HTML. Allows you to build modern user interfaces with the simplicity of hypertext.

When to Use

  • Hypermedia-Driven Web Architectures: Building dynamic user interfaces using server-rendered HTML over the wire without heavy SPA frameworks.
  • CRUD Backends with Existing Templating: Django, Rails, Laravel, Go templates, or Spring Boot apps wanting SPA-like responsiveness.
  • Instant Search, Inline Editing, and Polling: Enhancing HTML forms and tables with declarative AJAX attributes.
  • Low-JavaScript Minimal Bundles: Drastically reducing client bundle sizes and eliminating frontend state management complexity.

Quick Start

<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@1.9.10"></script>

<!-- When clicked, issue GET to /clicked, swap outerHTML with response -->
<button hx-get="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML">Click Me</button>
