In plain words

MicroEvent.js is a lightweight JavaScript event emitter library that implements core publish-subscribe functionality in fewer than 20 lines of code. It is designed for developers who need to add event handling capabilities to their applications without heavy dependencies. The library's main feature is its minimal footprint, making it suitable for projects where code size matters, such as embedded scripts or performance-critical applications.

    I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo. It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies. Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element. At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.…
