html_of_jsx

html_of_jsx is an implementation of JSX focused only to render HTML on the server, without React or any other library. It's a simple library (and a ppx) that allows you to write HTML in a declarative manner using the component model.

This library was born from server-reason-react, extracted and simplified to work with HTML5.

API

Jsx module that exposes some helpers to construct elements and Html_of_jsx to render them, the rest are functions with labelled arguments.

Overview

• Supports most of the JSX features (uppercase components, fragments, optional attributes, punning, childrens, etc...)
• but with a few improvements (lowercase components, no need to add annotations)
• No React idioms (no className, no htmlFor, no onChange, etc...), just plain HTML5
• Type-safe, validates attributes and their types
• Works with OCaml, Reason and mlx
• Integrates very well with Htmx (see the htmx page)
