Frequently Asked Questions
How is Web X different from other frameworks?
Web X stands out due to its HTML-first methodology, the use of TypeScript, and its execution on an efficient Rust-based runtime. This combination offers a unique blend of simplicity, performance, and advanced hypermedia support not commonly found in other frameworks. This allows developers to create web applications and APIs using a familiar and straightforward approach.
Is Web X limited to only HTML?
No, Web X is a versatile framework that can be used with any MIME-and structured data format, including HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, and more. Its flexible and adaptable design allows you to process many different data formats, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Web X follows an HTML-first approach for ease of use and simplicity but allow users to define parsers for other data formats.
Why should I choose Web X over Node.js or Deno?
Node.js and Deno are not designed specifically for web development, whereas Web X is designed to be perfect. Web X is a lightweight, easy-to-use language and framework for building web applications and APIs with TypeScript. Web X is built on top of the Deno core runtime, while also offering a more streamlined and developer-friendly experience.
Does Web X have a package manager?
Almost, Web X integrates smoothly with JSR similar to Deno, allowing you to use a vast ecosystem of packages and plugins available for JavaScript and TypeScript. This ensures you can extend the functionality of your Web X applications easily. However, Web X does not have a built-in package manager for handlers and models as of yet.
How does Web X handle real-time data and WebSocket?
Web X provides a WebSocket API that allows you to create real-time, bidirectional communication between clients and servers. The API directly binds to a native Rust WebSocket library, ensuring high performance and reliability. Web X also supports server-sent events (SSE) for one-way communication from the server to the client.
