HTML can do that!?

motivation

• Why should only <a> & <form> make HTTP requests?
• Why should only click & submit trigger them?
• Why should only GET & POST be available?
• Why should every update replace the entire screen?

htmx removes these constraints and completes HTML as a hypertext.

quick example

<button hx-post="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML">
    Click Me
</button>

When clicked, hx-post sends a POST to /clicked and hx-swap replaces the button with the response. No JavaScript.
