Million is a lightweight (<1kb) compiler-augmented Virtual DOM. It's fast!
Current Virtual DOM implementations are inadequate—Ranging from overcomplicated to abandoned, most are unusable without sacrificing raw performance and size.
Million aims to fix this, providing a library-agnostic Virtual DOM to serve as the core for Javascript libraries that focus on precompilation and static analysis.

- 🦁 Built for libraries that compile
- 📦 Lightweight bundle size (<1kb brotli+min)
- ⚡ Fast runtime operations
- 🛠️ Composable using drivers, sensible by default
Inside your project directory, run the following command:
npm install million # yarn add millionBelow is an extremely simple implementation of a Counter page using Million.
import { m, render } from 'million';
let seconds = 0;
setInterval(() => {
render(document.body, m('p', undefined, [`Time elapsed: ${seconds}`]));
seconds++;
}, 1000);render() function has a standard interface that is used in many Virtual DOM libraries. First argument is a DOM node that will be used as the parent DOM reference, and the second one is a Virtual DOM to render.
m() function will instantiate a "Virtual DOM" node for an element.

Million takes heavy inspiration from snabbdom, ivi, mikado, and more. Feel free to check them out if you interested in an alternative library to use.
Why is it called "Million"? The name originated with the goal of being able to handle 1M+ ops/sec for benchmarks.
What is the logo? The logo stems from the suffix of MilLION, and is a graphic of the nose and mouth of a lion.
