A fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that let's you write less code and get more done. The library is specifically designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling, CSS animation and Ajax related tasks. jQuery was first released in 2006, and instantly changed the way many write JavaScript. Today, about 70% of the top 10 million websites still use jQuery to improve the experience for their visitors.

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.

JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. The language is mainly used to create complex features for web pages, but is also used other software project. Javascript has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions and is mostly just-in-time compiled.

Laravel Livewire is a free and open-source, full-stack framework for Laravel that makes building dynamic interfaces simple. The framework allows you to build modern web applications faster, without leaving the comfort of Laravel. In a world where building modern web applications has become significantly more complex over time, Laravel Livewire can facilitate some of the functionallity brough about by frameworks like Angular, React, Vue and Svelte, without having to write JavaScript.

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.
