Rapscallion is an asynchronous React VirtualDOM renderer for server-side rendering. It offers streaming output, templating for HTML boilerplate, and component caching, and is roughly 30% faster than React's renderToString.

Use cases

  • render react components to html on the server asynchronously
  • stream server-rendered html to the client as it renders
  • speed up react ssr compared to renderToString
  • wrap server-rendered react html in a page template while streaming
  • cache rendered react component html for faster ssr

When to choose

  • you need non-blocking, streaming SSR for a React app on Node.js
  • renderToString is too slow or blocks your server event loop
  • you want template-based HTML wrapping integrated with streaming SSR

When to avoid

  • you use modern React 18+, which has built-in streaming SSR via renderToPipeableStream
  • your project is not React-based
  • you need a library with active development and recent updates
