way.js is a lightweight, framework-agnostic JavaScript library for two-way data binding between HTML elements and in-memory data, driven by declarative data attributes. It persists bound data to localStorage so forms and elements are repopulated on page reloads, with no dependencies.

Use cases

• bind form inputs to data without writing JavaScript
• persist form data across page reloads
• sync HTML element content with a data model
• build quick prototypes with declarative databinding
• serialize form inputs to JSON automatically
• display live-updating values as users type

When to choose

• you want zero-dependency, attribute-driven two-way binding in vanilla JS
• you need simple form persistence via localStorage
• you're building a small site or prototype without a framework

When to avoid

• you're using a modern framework with built-in reactivity like React, Vue, or Angular
• you need fine-grained state management or large-scale application state
• you require an actively developed library with a license and ongoing maintenance
