## What it is
Phlex is a Ruby gem for building fast, object-oriented HTML and SVG view components in pure Ruby. It integrates with Rails and supports streaming, fragment caching, and selective fragment rendering.

## Use cases
- build reusable view components in Ruby
- render HTML without ERB templates
- create SVG components programmatically
- integrate components into a Rails app
- stream HTML responses for faster time-to-first-byte
- prevent XSS through safe HTML construction
- cache fragments of server-rendered views

## When to choose
- you want object-oriented views in pure Ruby instead of template languages
- you need fast server-side rendering with Rails
- you want testable, isolated components that depend only on passed data
- you need streaming or fragment-level rendering and caching

## When to avoid
- you prefer template-based views like ERB, Haml, or Slim
- you need client-side rendering or a JavaScript component framework
- your project is not in Ruby

## Facets
- artifact type: library
