Silkenweb is a library for building reactive web apps.
It supports static site generation and progressive enhancement using SSR and hydration.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- No VDOM. Fine grained reactivity using signals to minimize DOM API calls.
- Uses plain Rust syntax rather than a macro DSL.
- CSS scoping via CSS Modules. CSS Modules support is integrated with SSR and Hydration so that only the CSS required to render the initial page is sent from the server, then progressively enhanced as required on the client
- Routing that works on the client or server.
- Tauri support.
- Server side rendering with hydration, and compile time pre-rendering.
- Support for shadow roots, including Hydration and SSR support with the experimental Declarative Shadow DOM. It also has a simple Component wrapper to manage slots. Again, I’m not sure about Leptos and Sycamore here.
- Support for using third party web components
- Full stack apps using Arpy.
- Clone! macro to make things a little easier
- htmx integration.
