    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Compiles declarative UI components into highly efficient JavaScript that updates the DOM surgically.
    • Eliminates the runtime overhead by shifting work to compile time, resulting in faster and smaller web applications.
    • Use for building reactive, component-based web applications with minimal boilerplate and optimized performance.
    • Use for developers seeking a modern alternative to traditional frameworks that compiles away the framework itself.
    • Use for creating lightweight single-page applications that require fast load times and smooth user interactions.
