hyperHTML is a fast and lightweight alternative to virtual DOM libraries that renders and updates DOM using tagged template literals. It is now in maintenance-only mode, with bug fixes only and no new major releases.

Use cases

  • render dynamic HTML from template literals without a virtual DOM
  • build lightweight interactive UIs without a heavy framework
  • efficiently update DOM nodes with changing data
  • create web components with minimal overhead
  • support legacy browsers down to IE with one library

When to choose

  • you want a tiny, battle-tested DOM rendering library with broad browser support
  • you prefer tagged template literals over JSX
  • you need a virtual DOM alternative with minimal bundle size

When to avoid

  • you want an actively developed library with new features
  • you are starting a new project - consider the author's uhtml instead
  • you need a full framework with routing, state management, and ecosystem
