Solid
JavaScript framework for building user interfaces with fine-grained reactivity, where updates touch only the parts of the page that change.
Solid is a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. Its README says it compiles templates to real DOM nodes instead of using a Virtual DOM and updates them with fine-grained reactions, so only the code that depends on changed state reruns. Components can render on the client and on the server.
A project is created with the create-solid scaffolder, which can also set up SolidStart, the full-stack framework that the docs describe separately. Ryan Carniato holds the copyright.
