HTMLX: A Different Approach to Web Development
HTMLX is a JavaScript library that allows developers to send HTML over the wire from the server to the client, eliminating the need for JSON. The library enables developers to put the received HTML in various places on the page without needing to reload the entire page. This approach harkens back to an earlier period of web development when Ajax was common. By using HTMLX, developers can avoid writing complex JavaScript code and instead rely on attributes added to HTML elements to achieve the desired functionality.
