Svelte is a new way to build web applications. It's a compiler that takes your declarative components and converts them into efficient JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM. Learn more at the Svelte website, or stop by the Discord chatroom. Svelte is an MIT-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible entirely by fantastic volunteers. If you'd like to support their efforts, please consider: Becoming a backer on Open Collective. Funds donated via Open Collective will be used for compensating expenses related to Svelte's development such as hosting costs. If sufficient donations are received, funds may also be used to support Svelte's development more directly. You may view our roadmap if you'd like to see what we're currently working on. Please see the Contributing Guide and the svelte package for information on contributing to Svelte. Probably not, but it's possible. If you can't seem to access any .dev sites, check out this SuperUser question and answer.

Svelte is a free and open-source component-based front-end software framework and language created by Rich Harris and maintained by the Svelte core team.

Svelte is not a monolithic JavaScript library imported by applications: instead, Svelte compiles HTML templates to specialized code that manipulates the DOM directly, which may reduce the size of transferred files and give better client performance. Application code is also processed by the compiler, inserting calls to automatically recompute data and re-render UI elements when the data they depend on is modified. This also avoids the overhead associated with runtime intermediate representations, such as virtual DOM, unlike traditional frameworks (such as React and Vue) which carry out the bulk of their work at runtime, i.e. in the browser.
