asm-dom is a minimal WebAssembly virtual DOM library that lets developers build single-page applications entirely in C++ compiled with Emscripten. It handles DOM API calls on behalf of the C++ code, supports a JSX-like syntax via gccx, and offers server-side rendering on Node.js.

Use cases

• build a single-page application in C++ compiled to WebAssembly
• reuse existing C/C++ code in a web app without writing JS bindings
• share one C++ codebase between desktop, mobile, and web apps
• render virtual DOM diffs at near-native speed in the browser
• do server-side rendering of a C++ SPA on Node.js
• write frontend views with a JSX-like syntax in C++

When to choose

• you have substantial C/C++ code you want to run in the browser without a binding layer
• you want an unopinionated, low-level virtual DOM you can structure yourself
• you want to share application logic across web and native platforms in C++
• you're experimenting with WebAssembly for DOM-heavy apps

When to avoid

• you want a batteries-included, opinionated frontend framework with routing and state management
• your team works primarily in JavaScript or TypeScript
• you need a mature, actively maintained library with a large ecosystem
• you can't tolerate the JS-WASM binding overhead for DOM interactions
