Hsx

Overview

TestClojars ProjectHSX is an innovative ClojureScript library designed to simplify the process of writing React components using the Hiccup syntax. With the belief that Hiccup offers a more idiomatic and enjoyable way to express HTML in Clojure, HSX serves as a lightweight and efficient syntactic layer over React, reminiscent of JavaScript's JSX. This library facilitates a smooth transition for developers moving from Reagent, making it ideal for those looking to embrace the latest features in React while maintaining familiarity with Hiccup syntax.

One of the primary motivations behind HSX is to harness modern React's potential without the baggage of Reagent's older architecture. With a focus on compatibility, performance, and minimal overhead, HSX empowers developers to leverage the latest React capabilities while ensuring that upgrading existing codebases is straightforward and efficient.

Features

• Supports React 19: Fully compatible with hooks, effects, concurrent rendering, suspense, and transitions, ensuring developers can make use of the latest React advancements.
• Hiccup Syntax: Write React components with concise and highly readable Hiccup expressions, making the code clean and accessible.
• Minimal Overhead: HSX acts as a thin layer over React, avoiding unnecessary abstractions or runtime complexities, which helps keep applications lightweight.
• Migration-Friendly: Drop-in compatibility with Reagent-style Hiccup allows for easy upgrades from existing codebases, ensuring a smoother transition.
• Straightforward Usage: The library consists of about 300 lines of ClojureScript, designed to be as close to plain React as possible, which makes it easy to integrate into projects.
• Performance Benefits: Migrating from Reagent to HSX can lead to significant performance improvements, utilizing concurrent rendering to optimize updates and rendering.
