Deep dives

Origin and Purpose of HTMX

HTMX was born out of a need to improve client-side efficiency in web development. Creator Carson Gross explains that the inspiration came while attempting to sort a table on the client side years ago, leading to the concept of using attributes in HTML to drive behavior similar to links and forms but for any HTML element. By providing a way to trigger HTTP requests with various events like clicks, HTMX differs from traditional AJAX by returning HTML rather than JSON, presenting a straightforward yet effective approach.
