Arizona is a real-time web framework for Erlang/OTP. It renders HTML on the server, diffs changes at the template level, and pushes minimal updates to the browser over WebSocket.
The server owns application state while a thin client patches the DOM. Arizona can also use the same templates and diff engine to emit native JSON widget trees and render to ANSI terminals.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Server-side rendering with live WebSocket updates.
- Erlang-native templates compiled using a parse transform.
- Compile-time separation of static and dynamic content.
- Stateful and stateless handlers.
- Keyed streams with insert, delete, update, move, sort, and limit operations.
- Single-page application navigation.
- PubSub messaging across views and browser tabs.
- Route middleware and on-mount hooks.
- Client-side element hooks.
- Development mode hot reload.
- Built-in HTTP and WebSocket transport.
- Native JSON render target for non-browser clients.
