Tarhon ·
Tarhon is a Javascript Library for building user interfaces.
-
Declarative Tarhon makes it truly painless to build interactive UIs. Create simple views using
its html templating mechanism, and Tarhon will efficiently make use of the browser capacities to
render, and the Observable series allow you to manage state changes at every level with instant UI
response.
-
Component based Tarhon allows you to create interactive UI in a Component Object Model fashion.
Since the actual HTML code and the component logic are written together in javascript rather than
having extra languages or templating engines, you can easily pass rich data through to the components.
-
Learn Once, Write anywhere Tarhon uses technology present in all modern browsers and since you
already know most of the things it relies on, you have very little to learn. We do not make any
assumptions on the other frameworks you may use and due to the way it's designed it can be used with
any of them painlessly.
-
True HTML, no JSX Tarhon uses named template literals rather than relying on a transpiler and
some subset / superset of HTML language. It works exactly as you expect it to.
