A fine-grained reactive DOM rendering runtime for JavaScript libraries that use signals or observables instead of a virtual DOM. It provides the core rendering engine behind libraries like Solid, with companion JSX Babel plugin, tagged template literal, and HyperScript APIs.

Use cases

• build a custom reactive UI library with fine-grained updates
• render DOM without a virtual DOM for maximum performance
• add JSX rendering to an observable library like MobX or Knockout
• generate a tree-shakeable reactive runtime for a signals library
• benchmark fine-grained DOM update performance

When to choose

• you are authoring a reactive frontend library and need a performant DOM renderer
• you want signal-based fine-grained change detection instead of re-rendering
• you need top-tier js-framework-benchmark style DOM performance

When to avoid

• you are building a typical application and should use Solid or another framework directly
• you rely on a virtual DOM ecosystem like React
• you need a batteries-included UI framework with routing and state management
