dominate VS domonic

It feels weird at the beginning, but after a bit of practice I found it pretty nice to write HTML in Python.

Here is an example of a HTML page layout written with the DOMinate [1] library for example, in a "JSX-like" way:

It may hurt your eyes at first sight, for sure... But similarly to technologies like Tailwind CSS, it's mostly a matter of getting used to it - and after a while it end ups feeling very natural to use :-)

Pretty much how https://github.com/Knio/dominate does it, but no context variable binding (otherwise gets messy with lots of nesting)

You're conflating two things, dynamically creating HTML is great and lets you avoid JS in a lot of cases. It's whether you should treat your HTML document as the tree of nodes that it is in your programming language or treat it like a string.

https://github.com/Knio/dominate is a Python lib that implements this principal.

Actually excited to giive this HTML field a try - https://github.com/Knio/dominate might come in useful for me to generate the html

How is it different from other existing projects like Dominate?

If you’re talking about generating HTML using Python, I highly recommend the library Dominate. Incredibly intuitive and Pythonic way to generate HTML.

Ive mostly used Dominate for my services. https://github.com/Knio/dominate

I did the 100th release of this python DOM 0.9.11... https://github.com/byteface/domonic

I've managed to tweak domonic (https://github.com/byteface/domonic) to work with elementpath (https://github.com/sissaschool/elementpath)...

I'm not sure about quicker. Doesn't scrapy use elementpath?. which converts a css query to an xpath under the hood as there is no complete CSSOM available for python. Likely as there is no modern standards based python dom to operate on so doing it on lxml tree is probably the best option. I find the main difference is xpath can return an attribute value where as css returns the node. You can use either from the terminal in my lib... https://github.com/byteface/domonic (as it uses elementpath like scrapy)

Thanks for your tool. I've been using it this week and updated a bunch of code. You are now a contributer... https://github.com/byteface/domonic/pull/58

[domonic](https://domonic.readthedocs.io/) will continue to evolve. It's a pure python dom I been working on in free time over last 2 years... https://github.com/byteface/domonic/

and used it on my lib yesterday... https://github.com/byteface/domonic/commit/96a91bbf3ee6f672bc1c0e5978f55e45706392aa
