Gea is a compiler-first reactive JavaScript UI framework that transforms JSX at build time into surgical DOM patches, eliminating the virtual DOM and runtime diffing. It uses proxy-based class stores and ships extremely small bundles (121 B brotli hello-world), with a built-in router, accessible UI components, and Vite integration.

Use cases

• build a reactive web app without a virtual DOM
• compile JSX to minimal JavaScript bundles
• manage state with plain JavaScript classes and proxies
• create a tiny hello-world or todo app with minimal JS payload
• build a SPA with a tree-shaken client-side router
• use accessible headless UI components in a lightweight framework
• avoid hooks and signals in frontend development

When to choose

• you want the smallest possible JavaScript bundle for a UI app
• you prefer plain JavaScript classes over framework-specific primitives like hooks or signals
• you need fine-grained, compile-time DOM updates without diffing overhead
• you want a batteries-included toolkit with router and accessible components
• you are building with Vite and want a compiler-integrated framework

When to avoid

• you need a mature ecosystem with large community, libraries, and hiring pool
• your team relies on React, Vue, or Svelte tooling and experience
• you need server-side rendering or SSR-first features
• you require long-term stability guarantees from a battle-tested framework
• your project depends on React-specific libraries or components
