Hoplon is a set of Clojure and ClojureScript libraries that pave over the web’s idiosyncrasies and present a simpler way to design and build single-page web applications. It provides a compiler for web application frontend development
Hoplon works best on Java/JDK versions 8 or higher.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Custom HTML elements are regular functions and can be created and composed functionally with HLisp.
- Spreadsheet-like dataflow with the Javelin ClojureScript library. Intuitively model reactive behavior using cells and formulas. Hoplon tightly integrates with Javelin to reactively bind DOM elements to the underlying Javelin cell graph.
- Interact with the server with the Castra Clojure and ClojureScript library. Define functions on the server, call them from the client. Castra is a full-featured RPC library for Clojure and ClojureScript, providing the serverside environment.
