  1. core

    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

    In mid-2000s Gmail revolutionized web development by becoming the first true SPA project. Its seamless user experience inspired developers worldwide to adopt this new model, leading to the creation of frameworks like React, Angular and Vue.js. SPAs became the go-to solution for many applications, which required real-time interactions and a fluid user experience.

  3. Stimulus

    A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have

    Taking the hybrid approach a step further, Stimulus enriches the server-rendered content with dynamic interactions that transcend the capabilities of traditional SSR alone. By introducing behavior-driven development, Stimulus empowers developers to augment existing HTML components with minimal JavaScript code. This enables the creation of rich, interactive interfaces without sacrificing the benefits of server-side rendering.

  4. React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  5. qwik

    Instant-loading web apps, without effort

    Additionally, the Qwik framework has entered the scene, offering an innovative solution to the hybrid model. Qwik is designed to deliver instant loading web applications by using a resumable architecture, which allows web applications to start up with minimal JavaScript. It achieves this by splitting the application code into small, lazy-loaded chunks that only activate when needed, thus optimizing both the performance and user experience.

  6. Next.js

    The React Framework

    The popularisation of SSR among frontend developers can be largely attributed to the widespread adoption of frameworks with server-side rendering. These frameworks provide an elegant integration of SSR with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks like React and Vue.js. Next.js, for instance, has become a de facto choice for many React developers seeking to leverage SSR's benefits without sacrificing the advantages of a component-based architecture. By abstracting much of the complexity involved in SSR, these frameworks have made it accessible and practical for everyday use in web development.

  7. htmx

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

    At the forefront of this hybrid model stands htmx, a pioneering framework that champions a simplified approach to dynamic web development. By leveraging data attributes, htmx grants developers the ability to control client-side interactions directly from the HTML markup. This means that the primary focus shifts back to generating valid HTML on the server, while htmx seamlessly inserts and updates this content within the DOM as needed. Consequently, developers can maintain a clean and straightforward server-side codebase while still delivering interactive and responsive user experiences on the client side.

  8. Angular

    Deliver web apps with confidence 🚀

Its seamless user experience inspired developers worldwide to adopt this new model, leading to the creation of frameworks like React, Angular and Vue.js. SPAs became the go-to solution for many applications, which required real-time interactions and a fluid user experience.

  9. Stream
