vidom

Vidom is just a library to build UI. It's highly inspired from React and based on the same ideas. Its main goal is to provide as fast as possible lightweight implementation with API similar to React.

Main features

• Fast virtual DOM builder and patcher under the hood
• Update batching and synchronization with browsers rendering lifecycle by default
• Fast server-side rendering with ability to reuse existing DOM in the browsers also known as isomorphism
• Easy and clear way to subscribe to DOM Events
• API to build your own high-level components
• Namespaces support (e.g., SVG, MathML)
• Ability to render multiple components without unwanted DOM wrappers
• No extra markup in the result HTML
• JSX support via babel plugin
• TypeScript support
• Small footprint, 9KB after gzip
• Zero dependencies

Benchmarks

• repaint rate challenge
• vdom-benchmark
• uibench
• server-side rendering (nodejs 8.8.1)
