Phoenix LiveView Alternatives

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.

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.

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.
