Riot is the fastest, smallest and most powerful client side framework for building large scale web applications. Despite the hilarious size all the building blocks are there: a template engine, router, event library and a strict MVP pattern to keep things organized. Your views are automatically updated when the underlying model changes.
Current frameworks base their existence on false assumptions.
- There's a big mass of common problems
- MVC (or MVP) requires a framework
- jQuery leads to spaghetti
All of these statements are wrong.
Current applications could be faster, simpler and smaller. They could be maintained with less people, less knowledge, and less worries.
Riot is a manifesto for vanilla JavaScript and jQuery.
