html_of_jsx is a JSX transformation to write HTML declaratively in OCaml, Reason and mlx.
- Brings the component model to HTML
- Supports most of features from JSX (uppercase components, fragments, optional attributes, punning)
- but with a few improvements (lowercase components, no need to add annotations)
- No React idioms (no
className
, nohtmlFor
, noonChange
, etc...) - Integrates well with htmx
- Type-safe, validates attributes and their types (it can be better thought)
- Works with OCaml, Reason and mlx
- Minimal
JSX.render
to render a JSX element to a HTML stringJSX.*
to construct DOM Elements and DOM nodes (JSX.string
,JSX.int
,JSX.null
,JSX.list
)
- Created to work on the server-side, but can be used on the client-side as well (with Melange or jsoo)
