Don't forget XML Data islands. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_XML_Data_Islands_in_Mozilla https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_XML_Data_Islands... You can write HTML literals directly in Javascript in an ancient version of Firefox I forgot its name it's similar to JSX Edit: It's called E4X. Thanks @woogley

E4X: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X

  And with examples: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X/Processing_XML_with_E4X https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X/Pro... It's crazy how similar this is with JSX

Something something history doomed to repeat something.

I don't think you are thinking of E4X -- it allowed one to convert XML strings into native objects, but I don't believe that it allowed for direct XML literals in Javascript as does JSX?

  It did, as an alternative to XML('string') constructor. Check it out: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X/Processing_XML_with_E4X#Creating_an_XML_object https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Web/E4X/Pro...

    That is pretty mind blowing. Not such a revolutionary idea in the JS space after all.
