Two questions. What would you recommend to build the backend in, some language that can parse xml/html well? And second question, are there any more extensive examples such as working authentication?
That’s part of the benefit of htmx and it’s hypermedia approach, you can build the backend in anything you prefer. Some like using language and frameworks that use templates. Others, like we do, used fairy basic HTML generation libraries. We love Clojure so we use the Hiccup library to generate HTML. We use the full power of clojure and functions to build reusable HTML type components and their fragments.
