## What it is
fixi.js is an experimental, minimalist JavaScript library implementing generalized hypermedia controls via a small set of HTML attributes, events, and properties. It lets you issue HTTP requests and swap response HTML into the DOM declaratively, aiming to be a leaner alternative to htmx.

## Use cases
- add partial page updates to a server-rendered site without a build step
- replace htmx with a smaller hypermedia library
- fetch and swap HTML fragments on click or other events
- build hypermedia-driven web apps with plain HTML attributes
- keep frontend JavaScript under a few kilobytes

## When to choose
- you want hypermedia controls with minimal size and complexity
- you prefer declarative HTML attributes over writing fetch code
- your app doesn't need htmx's advanced features like history support or request queueing

## When to avoid
- you need htmx features like request indicators, CSS transitions, or history support
- you want a mature, battle-tested library for production
- you're building a rich SPA with client-side state management

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: experimental
- function: http-client, frontend-framework, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: hypermedia, htmx-alternative, minimalist, vanilla-javascript, no-build-step, web-server
