Stimulus is a modest JavaScript framework that enhances the interactivity of web pages by focusing on the manipulation of existing HTML elements. It simplifies the process of adding dynamic behavior to your web applications without the need for complex data binding or virtual DOM. Stimulus promotes a more declarative and straightforward approach to building interactive components by leveraging the power of HTML attributes and controllers.
Compared to heavier front-end frameworks like React or Angular, Stimulus is lightweight and ideal for projects where a full-fledged SPA framework is not necessary. It excels in scenarios where you want to enhance server-rendered pages with interactive elements or progressively enhance existing applications.
