This is a list of libraries for creating web applications that handle user interaction with the DOM on the server. These libraries take a different approach from older server-driven browser UIs that simulated a desktop GUI toolkit. They do not lock the developer into working with predefined components; they operate at the level of HTML (DOM) rather than GUI widgets.
The list strives to be complete rather than awesome. You may see libraries that are not maintained or ready for production.

- Phoenix LiveView. "Phoenix LiveView enables rich, real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML."

- WDOM. "WDOM is a Python GUI library for browser-based desktop applications."
