Phoenix LiveView

Elixir library for building rich, real-time user interfaces with server-rendered HTML.

Phoenix LiveView is an Elixir library that renders pages on the server and holds a persistent connection to the browser, which receives only the changes. Pages are written in HEEx, the template language the README names as part of LiveView.

LiveView is a part of Phoenix: the docs say it is included by default in Phoenix applications and that using it requires an installed Phoenix application. New Phoenix applications created with mix phx.new ship with it, and the README points to a separate guide for adding it to an older Phoenix application.
