Karax is a framework for building single page applications in Nim that compiles to JavaScript. It uses a virtual DOM similar to React but is much smaller, with no external dependencies, and leverages Nim's macro system for a boilerplate-free HTML-building DSL.

Use cases

• build a single page app in Nim
• compile Nim to JavaScript for the browser
• use a virtual DOM framework without React's size
• write a todo app or small web UI in Nim
• generate HTML DOM trees with a Nim DSL
• avoid JavaScript boilerplate when building SPAs

When to choose

• you already write Nim and want to target the browser
• you want a minimal, dependency-free SPA framework
• you prefer compile-time macros and whole-program optimization for small JS output

When to avoid

• you need a large ecosystem of components, tooling, and community packages
• your team works primarily in JavaScript or TypeScript
• you need server-side rendering or native mobile support
