Brixx-Script
Brixx-Script is a free JavaScript library for creating independent web components. Smart Web Components (brixx) for websites and web applications can be created with Brixx-Script. This reduces the programming effort and project complexity for a low-code development to a minimum. Brixx web components are created with JSX (JavaScript XML) and can be used as Brixx HTML elements in HTML documents or Brixx script components in JavaScript applications and frameworks. JSX was introduced in 2014 with React and has the same syntax as E4X (EcmaScript for XML) for integrating XML into JavaScript. Brixx-Script has its origins in 1998 as LaSSiE as a platform-independent web development and was expanded in 2005 with E4X. Coinciding with the advent of JSX, E4X was marked as deprecated by the Mozilla Foundation in 2014 and consequently replaced by JSX in LaSSiE as well. LaSSiE was initially used as an integrated building block system in other libraries, but due to the great popularity and spread of JSX, it was released in December 2022 as a free JavaScript library Brixx-Script for creating Brixx web components. Brixx-Script is primarily used to create a building block oriented project architecture, but it can also be a lightweight alternative to other frameworks and libraries.
Usage
Brixx web component in the Brixx script component file brixx-animal-list.js
const animals = ["Dog", "Cat", "Mouse"];
Brixx.element = (
<div>
<h2>Animals</h2>
<ul>
{animals.map((animal) => (
<li>
<h3>{animal}</h3>
</li>
))}
</ul>
</div>
);
Brixx.registerElement({ name: "animal-list" });
