# FastHTML > FastHTML is a python library which brings together Starlette, Uvicorn, HTMX, and fastcore's `FT` "FastTags" into a library for creating server-rendered hypermedia applications. Important notes: - Although parts of its API are inspired by FastAPI, it is *not* compatible with FastAPI syntax and is not targeted at creating API services - FastHTML is compatible with JS-native web components and any vanilla JS library, but not with React, Vue, or Svelte. ## Docs - [FastHTML quick start](https://fastht.ml/docs/tutorials/quickstart_for_web_devs.html.md): A brief overview of many FastHTML features - [HTMX reference](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/master/www/content/reference.md): Brief description of all HTMX attributes, CSS classes, headers, events, extensions, js lib methods, and config options ## Examples - [Todo list application](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fasthtml/blob/main/examples/adv_app.py): Detailed walk-thru of a complete CRUD app in FastHTML showing idiomatic use of FastHTML and HTMX patterns. ## Optional - [Starlette full documentation](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jph00/809e4a4808d4510be0e3dc9565e9cbd3/raw/9b717589ca44cedc8aaf00b2b8cacef922964c0f/starlette-sml.md): A subset of the Starlette documentation useful for FastHTML development.
