## What it is
RE:DOM is a tiny (2 KB) JavaScript UI library for creating user interfaces with pure JavaScript and web standards, without a virtual DOM. It provides helpers for creating DOM elements, keeping them in sync with data, and building reusable components.

## Use cases
- build web apps without a heavy framework
- create reusable UI components in pure JavaScript
- render UI faster than virtual DOM libraries like React
- keep DOM elements in sync with application data
- avoid learning templating languages
- build lightweight interfaces where bundle size matters

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, fast UI library with a tiny footprint
- you prefer vanilla JavaScript over JSX or templating languages
- performance and memory usage are critical
- you want to use web standards directly

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured framework with routing, state management, and a large ecosystem
- your team relies on declarative virtual DOM patterns like React
- you need server-side rendering out of the box (requires separate tooling like NO:DOM)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: dom, no-virtual-dom, tiny, components, vanilla-js, javascript, nodejs
