Bonito.jl is a Julia package for building interactive web applications, dashboards, and visualizations.
It uses Observables for reactive state management and provides a straightforward HTML and DOM API.
Applications can communicate with the frontend over a performance-optimized WebSocket connection, letting developers create responsive interfaces without being tied to a specific frontend framework.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Build reactive and interactive applications using Observables.jl.
- Updates user interfaces automatically when application state changes.
- Uses a fast binary serialization protocol to minimize transferred data.
- Provides buttons, sliders, tables, code editors, and support for custom widgets.
- Offers deep integration with WGLMakie together with support for Plotly, Gadfly, and other plotting tools.
- Works with VS Code, Jupyter, Pluto, web servers, and static HTML exports.
- Supports ES6 modules and JavaScript execution when client-side functionality is required.
- Lets developers write complete applications in Julia with optional JavaScript for client-side rendering.
- Provides extensible handlers for authentication, logging, static files, and custom middleware.
- Integrates existing JavaScript, CSS, and HTML resources.
