New paper regarding HtmlFlow Kotlin DSL extension with statically typed support for reactive Datastar BRHC: Backend-driven Reactive Hypermedia Controls with a Statically Typed Kotlin DSL.
This release introduces TBody and Tr as valid HtmlPage root elements and adds root builder extensions for tbody and tr, along with comprehensive tests.
Significant improvements to the Kotlin DSL, HTML builder capabilities, code quality, and build infrastructure.
This release upgrades xsd2poet to 1.0.8, introducing two distinct modules: one for Java and another for the idiomatic Kotlin API.
Starting with version 5, the Java and Kotlin APIs are provided in separate modules.
As a result, the core Java HtmlFlow module no longer depends on the Kotlin coroutines library or jsoup (which is now only required by the reverse-engineering tool Flowifier, moved to its own module).
We have published the paper Enabling Progressive Server-Side Rendering for Traditional Web Template Engines with Java Virtual Threads in Software.
This release removes the Guava dependency, previously used only for HTML text escaping, and replaces it with the original HTML escaping source code.
This release addresses two major issues in the underlying infrastructure of HtmlFlow:
Unified API Generators: Combines two previously separate API generators—one for Java and another for idiomatic Kotlin builders using function literals with receivers—into a single unified infrastructure.
Simplified Manual Integration: Streamlines the process of merging
manually written builders (e.g., of(), dynamic(), async(),
suspending(), etc.) with automatically generated HTML builders.
We have published the paper Progressive Server-Side Rendering with Suspendable Web Templates at WISE 2024.
All HTML builders are now available through Kotlin Extensions with function literals with receiver, enabling both nested method and method chaining idioms.
