HTM (Hyperscript Tagged Markup) is a tiny JavaScript library that provides JSX-like syntax using standard tagged template literals, requiring no transpiler. It binds to any hyperscript-style h() function, with off-the-shelf bindings for React and Preact and a Babel plugin that compiles it away for production.

Use cases

• write JSX-like components without a build step
• use React or Preact directly in the browser
• reduce bundle size by compiling template syntax away
• prototype UI components with no tooling
• use JSX-style syntax in environments without transpilers

When to choose

• you want JSX ergonomics without a build pipeline
• you use Preact or React and want a tiny syntax layer
• you need to run component code directly in modern browsers
• bundle size is critical

When to avoid

• you already have a full JSX/Babel toolchain
• you need full JSX ecosystem tooling and type checking
• you use a framework without a hyperscript-style createElement
