## What it is
htmz is a minimalist HTML microframework consisting of a single 166-byte inline iframe snippet that lets you load HTML fragments into any element on a page. It enables partial page updates (tabs, dialogs, inline editing) using plain HTML links and forms with no JavaScript bundles, dependencies, or backend requirements.

## Use cases
- build tabbed UIs with plain HTML
- swap page fragments without reloading the whole page
- create list-detail layouts with vanilla HTML
- implement inline editing without writing JavaScript
- load HTML resources into any element on a page
- add interactivity to server-rendered pages without a JS build step

## When to avoid
- you need rich client-side state management or reactive UIs
- you want a full-featured frontend framework with components
- you need AJAX/fetch features, JSON APIs, or optimistic updates
- you require broad browser compatibility guarantees or long-term vendor support
