Malina.js is a frontend component compiler inspired by Svelte that compiles HTML/CSS/JS components into fast, framework-free web applications. It produces very small bundles (TodoMVC in ~2.7kb gzipped) with strong performance and startup metrics.

Use cases

• build a fast web app without a runtime framework
• compile svelte-like components to vanilla js
• minimize bundle size for a frontend app
• write components using standard html css and javascript
• try a svelte alternative compiler
• create a lightweight todomvc-style app

When to choose

• you want svelte-style ergonomics with an even smaller runtime footprint
• bundle size and startup performance are top priorities
• you prefer components written in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need a large ecosystem, mature tooling, and big community like React or Vue
• your team already relies on Svelte-specific features or plugins
• you need extensive third-party component libraries
