Template Extensions

Overview

Template Extensions offers a powerful, HTML-based template syntax designed for efficient updates through DOM parts. This technology emphasizes a clear separation between HTML and JavaScript, allowing seamless integration and progressive enhancement through server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG). The framework is based on proposals from web component specifications, providing a modern approach to building dynamic user interfaces.
