jsblocks is a JavaScript MV-ish UI framework from 2012, inspired by Knockout, for building everything from simple interfaces to complex single-page applications with server-side rendering. The author explicitly states it is now a showcase of early skills and is no longer actively developed.
Use cases
- build a single-page application with a knockout-style framework
- server-side render a javascript ui
- two-way data binding for web apps
- study a pre-react javascript ui framework
- build an mvc-style frontend in vanilla javascript
When to choose
- maintaining or extending an existing codebase already built with jsblocks
- studying the history and design of pre-React JavaScript frameworks
When to avoid
- starting any new project
- needing long-term support, security updates, or an active community
- building a modern production web application
