purescript-sdom
A PureScript library that replaces the virtual DOM with a static DOM approach to avoid expensive diffing operations.
What is purescript-sdom?
purescript-sdom is a PureScript library that provides an alternative to the virtual DOM by using a Static DOM (SDOM) approach. It allows developers to build web UIs where the component tree structure is static, and only text nodes and attributes change dynamically, eliminating the need for expensive diffing operations. The library aims to offer the clean functional semantics of VDOM-based libraries without the performance overhead.
PureScript developers building web applications who are interested in performance optimization and alternative UI paradigms, particularly those looking to avoid virtual DOM diffing costs in applications with stable UI structures.
Developers choose purescript-sdom because it provides the declarative benefits of virtual DOM approaches while being more efficient for applications where the UI shape is largely static. Its unique selling point is eliminating diffing overhead while still supporting common dynamic UI patterns through its limited dynamic behavior capabilities.
