According to their docs "htmx is a library that allows you to access modern browser features directly from HTML, rather than using javascript"

Can anyone confirm this claim? How good is this? Doing everything in HTML/CSS might have some advantages. Is it quick and compatible enough?

Yes, I can confirm. The main advantage is that you can build a site that feels like a React site, but with 100x less code, and no frontend to maintain.

It's a Javascript library with several custom DSLs.

So yes, it's using Javascript even if you don't do it directly.

Where does it say that exactly?
