*high power tools for HTML*
## Introduction
htmx is a set of extensions (attributes, request headers, etc.) that help you build
[modern UI](https://htmx.org/examples) with the [simplicity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS) and
[power](https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm) of HTML.
Htmx is small ([~6k min.gz'd](https://unpkg.com/htmx.org/dist/)), IE11 compatible, [dependency-free](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/master/package.json)
& you can try it out quickly, without a huge rewrite.
## Quick Start
```html
<!-- Load from unpkg -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@0.0.3"></script>
<!-- have a button POST a click via AJAX -->
<button hx-post="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML">
Click Me
</button>
```
The `hx-post` and `hx-swap` attributes tell htmx:
> "When a user clicks on this button, issue an AJAX request to /example, and replace the entire button with the response"
htmx is based on [intercooler.js](http://intercoolerjs.org) and is the successor to that project.
