asm-dom is a minimal virtual DOM library designed to bring high-performance UI rendering to web applications by leveraging WebAssembly and low-level memory control. It enables developers to build single-page applications using languages like C or C++ compiled to WebAssembly, rather than relying solely on JavaScript frameworks. The library provides a lightweight abstraction for creating and updating virtual DOM nodes, allowing efficient diffing and patching of the real DOM. Unlike traditional virtual DOM libraries, asm-dom emphasizes manual memory management and deterministic behavior, which can lead to improved performance in certain scenarios. It supports features such as server-side rendering, WebComponents integration, and direct DOM manipulation through references. The API is intentionally minimal and unopinionated, giving developers full control over application structure and lifecycle.

Features

  • Virtual DOM implementation optimized for WebAssembly-based applications
  • Supports C and C++ frontends compiled via Emscripten
  • Efficient DOM diffing and patching through a minimal API
  • Server-side rendering support with hydration capabilities
  • Integration with WebComponents and direct DOM references
  • Manual memory management for performance and control
