Phoenix LiveView enables rich, real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML. LiveView is free and open-source tool built for the Elixir framework Phoenix. It allows you to use a declarative model to render HTML on the server over WebSockets with optional LongPolling fallback. It also comes with templating and change tracking, live form validation with upload support, rich integration API with the client with phx-click, phx-focus, phx-blur, phx-submit, and a phx-hook for the cases where you have to write JavaScript.

Hotwire or HTML Over The Wire is an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire. Hotwire is a newly released project from the guys at Basecamp, and the Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson. The project aims to simplify the process of building web-based apps as a small team or solo developer.  The concept is however not new, it dates back years, and we have seen implementations being done before. Laravel Livewire, Phoenix Liveview and HTMX is similar implementations of the concept or serverside render blocks of HTML dynamically.

HTMX is a HTML-first web framework that allows you to access AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML Markup, using attributes. With HTMX, developers can quickly build emmersive experiences and modern user interfaces without having to worry about REST APIs or complicated frontend JavaScript configurations. HTMX weighs in at just under 10k min.gz'd and is completley dependecy-free.

Svelte introduces a radical new approach to building user interfaces with JavaScript. It is a compile-based component framework that builds efficient code that updates the DOM. Where most traditional frontend JavaScript framework does most of their work in the browser, Svelte includes that work in the compilation process when you build your app. This creates a smaller app which ultimately leads to faster load times and a better experience for the end-user.

Vue.js is a free and open-source intuitive and composable MVVM framework for building interactive UIs with JavaScript. The library was first created and released by Evan You back in 2014, and saw a meteoric rise in the open-souce community. Possibly due to the accessible nature of the project and the library itself. With Vue.js you can get started by simply importing the script via CDN, and start building. Today, Vue.js is used in a multitude of web applications and powers interactive interfaces for people to enjoy across the globe.
