HTMX: Frontend Revolution
summary
HTMX claims to let server templates drive interactive pages by sending HTML fragments instead of JSON, using attribute-driven requests that perform partial DOM swaps for things like click-to-edit, select-driven updates, lazy loading and simple form handling. It uses minimal JavaScript, integrates with server-side templates (Django examples shown), and promises simpler toolchains, faster first loads and better SEO/web vitals by keeping rendering on the server while updating only changed fragments.
