What is Ractive.js?

The Ractive.js library provides a template-driven approach to building highly interactive user interfaces. It transforms your templates, styles, and application logic into a lightweight representation of the DOM, enabling efficient updates to the actual DOM when your application data changes. Ractive.js was originally created by the team at theguardian.com to power their news applications, and it continues to be a popular tool for developers seeking a flexible and straightforward way to build complex web experiences
