## What it is
Hiccup is a fast Clojure library for rendering HTML by representing elements as vectors and attributes as maps. It supports automatic string escaping, CSS-like id/class shortcuts, form helpers, and Ring middleware integration.

## Use cases
- render html from clojure data structures
- generate html pages server-side in clojure
- build html forms in clojure web apps
- escape user input when generating html
- write templates without a separate template language

## When to choose
- you write Clojure or ClojureScript web apps and want HTML as plain data
- you prefer code-based templating over string-based template engines
- you need safe, automatic HTML escaping

## When to avoid
- you need designer-friendly template files rather than code
- you are not working on the JVM or in Clojure
- you need client-side DOM manipulation rather than HTML string rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: templating, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: clojure, html-rendering, hiccup-syntax, server-side-html, ring
