The Future of Htmx
htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext htmx is small (~14k min.gz’d), dependency-free, extendable, IE11 compatible & has reduced code base sizes by 67% when compared with react
Carson Gross, Alex PetrosJanuary 01, 2025 htmx began life as intercooler.js, a library built around jQuery that added behavior based on HTML attributes. It is very easy to add to a project (just a single, dependency-free link) It has maintained a very consistent API, remaining largely backwards compatible over its life (intercooler.js works with jQuery v1, v2 and v3) As a library, you can use as much or as little of it as you like: it stays out of the way otherwise and doesn’t dictate the structure of your application htmx code written today will continue working forever, of course, but in the very long run perhaps there will be no need to include the library to achieve similar UI patterns via hypermedia.
