## What it is
Montage is an open-source HTML5 application framework for building rich single-page web applications using standard web technologies. It provides encapsulated custom UI components, functional reactive two-way data binding, object serialization with DOM mapping, and CommonJS module support.

## Use cases
- build a single-page web application with modular components
- two-way data binding between UI and application state
- create reusable custom UI components with HTML templates and CSS
- manage application state with functional reactive bindings
- develop rich HTML5 apps using CommonJS modules

## When to choose
- you want a component-based HTML5 framework built on standard web technologies
- you need powerful reactive data bindings over property paths and collections
- you prefer HTML/CSS templates over JavaScript-driven rendering
- your team wants separation of concerns between designers and developers

## When to avoid
- you need a framework with a large active community and ecosystem
- you are building with modern React/Vue-style virtual DOM workflows
- you require server-side rendering or mobile native output
- you want long-term assurance of active maintenance

## Facets
