spair – small and fast frontend framework

spair is a small and fast frontend framework for Single Page Application.

This framework is in an early stage of development.

Spair works by iterating through every elements and attributes/properties in the current DOM, which is empty before the first render, creating new items or modifying existing items, it’s the update-mode. But there are elements or attributes that will never change. You can tell Spair to just create them but ignore them when iterating over them later by turn on the static-mode.

spair is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Small and fast.
  • Both vDOM-like and reactive-like, in the same framework.
  • Incremental render (vDOM-like, but Spair doesn’t re-create a new vDOM in every run).
  • Queue render (reactive-like, but not using any kind of signals), just queue relevant pieces of code to render change on data change. (The current version of queue render may not very efficient because each fine-grained-render need to borrow the component state separately by it own.)
  • Component state is automatically available in every piece of the render code.
  • (Almost) no macro is required for constructing DOM.
  • Routing (but just basic support).
  • SVG.
