Episode notes
Rendering an HTMX app is less burdensome on the client compared to heavy JavaScript logic as it involves parsing HTML which is efficient and quick for the client. The difference between rendering JSON and HTML representations is minimal, especially with compression enabled. HTML can be more efficient for tabular data as it does not repeat field names like JSON. The CPU, memory, and network transfer time difference between JSON and HTML is not as significant as perceived. However, HTMX does involve network requests for some interactions, introducing network latency which might not be present in a well-tuned SPA application. Despite this, HTMX offers tools like the details element to support client-side interactivity.
