Torex Documentation

The why

Torex was created to make web applications lighter but still functional. Most of the small apps doesn't need to use heavy frameworks with layers of abstractions, hooks, virtualization and stuff like that. We believe that modern browsers provide a big number of solutions which can help you to build web. Torex is an adaptor between a browser features and easy to use components.

Features

First of all, Torex doesn't use Objects between your application and DOM. All elements you use are already DOM components. So, here we can say that Torex is Reactive framework. Changing attribute of a Torex element will affect HTML tree immediately, and this done without any observers or hooks.

Secondly, Torex can be mixed with native HTML. You may create Torex element and attach it straight to your page with appendChild method. And this also can be done with Torex element inside it's constructor or outside. You can use shadow DOM, templates and all features of modern HTML.

At this point we should also talk about custom elements. Well, Torex is build using this elements. You should think about every element like it is a container with some data, children containers and methods. So, all Torex elements are custom.
