"If you've been watching the JavaScript landscape for a while, you've likely noticed the trend toward simplicity in web application development. An aspect of this trend is leveraging HTML, REST, and HATEOAS (hypermedia as the engine of application state) to do as much work as possible. In this article, we'll look at Hotwire, a collection of tools for building single-page-style applications using HTML over the wire."
"Hotwire is built on similar principles to HTMX and offers an alternative approach to using HTML to drive the web. Both projects strive to eliminate boilerplate JavaScript and let developers do more with simple markup. Both embrace HATEOAS and the original form of REST. The central insight here is that application markup can contain both the state (or data) and the structure of how data is to be displayed. This makes it possible to sidestep the unnecessary logistics of marshaling JSON at both ends."
Hotwire is a collection of tools that enables single-page-style web applications by delivering HTML over the wire instead of heavy JSON-driven front ends. The approach reduces boilerplate JavaScript by leveraging markup that contains both state and presentation structure, embracing REST and HATEOAS principles to simplify interactions. Hotwire shares goals with HTMX while providing distinct tooling. The ecosystem includes Turbo for fine-grained page updates, Stimulus for concise client-side interactivity, and Native for building iOS and Android apps from the same primitives. Hotwire is popular, with tens of thousands of GitHub stars and hundreds of thousands of weekly NPM downloads.
