A Fast & Light Virtual DOM Alternative available for NodeJS and NativeScript too.


Basic Example

The easiest way to describe hyperHTML is through an example.

// this is hyperHTML
function tick(render) {
  render`
    <div>
      <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
      <h2>It is ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}.</h2>
    </div>
  `;
}
setInterval(tick, 1000,
  hyperHTML(document.getElementById('root'))
);

Features

  • Zero dependencies, no polyfills needed, and it fits in less than 5KB (minzipped)
  • Uses directly native DOM instead of inventing new syntax/APIs, DOM diffing, or virtual DOM
  • Designed for template literals, a templating feature built in to JS
  • Compatible with vanilla DOM elements and vanilla JS data structures
  • Also compatible with Babel transpiled output, hence suitable for every browser you can think of

Compatibility

IE9+ , iOS8+ , Android 4+ and every modern Mobile or Desktop Browser. You can verify directly through the following links:
