nanomorph
A hyper-fast diffing algorithm for real DOM nodes that efficiently updates only changed elements.
What is nanomorph?
Nanomorph is a hyper-fast diffing algorithm for real DOM nodes that efficiently updates only the parts of the DOM that have changed. It solves the performance problem of full DOM re-renders by comparing and patching only modified elements, making web applications more responsive. The library is API-compatible with morphdom but focuses on modern browsers and preserves event handlers automatically.
Frontend developers building performance-sensitive web applications who need efficient DOM updates without the overhead of full virtual DOM implementations. Particularly useful for developers using the choo framework or similar lightweight architectures.
Developers choose Nanomorph for its simplicity, performance, and predictable behavior—it provides fast DOM diffing without complex configuration, preserves event handlers automatically, and offers optimization features like list reordering and DOM caching out of the box.
