Sauron is a versatile Rust web framework and library for building client-side and/or server-side web applications, inspired by The Elm Architecture with model-view-update patterns. It emphasizes ergonomics and simplicity, offering server-side rendering, static site generation, web components, and a standalone DOM/VirtualDOM patcher.

Use cases

• build a client-side web app in rust with elm-style architecture
• server-side render a rust web application
• generate a static site from rust code
• create web components or custom elements in rust
• patch an existing dom node with a virtual dom diff
• write views and styles entirely in rust without a template language
• build a progressive-rendering web app

When to choose

• you want an elm-like architecture in rust with minimal framework complexity
• you need both client-side and server-side rendering from one framework
• you prefer writing views, events, and styling in rust rather than html templates or css
• you want a batteries-included framework without a required cli toolchain

When to avoid

• your team is more productive with mainstream javascript frameworks and ecosystems
• you need a large component library or extensive third-party ui ecosystem
• you want a framework with a dedicated cli and dev-server tooling out of the box
• you need mature ssr hydration parity comparable to next.js or similar
