Eh, not really. I can straight-up embed the source of this and run with it if I want something that's html++ rather than "a new JS project". I know the API, because the source is simple. It's a small tool, for small jobs. There is nothing wrong with choosing the simpler option.

So they are not exactly the same tool, but you can embed it and run with it, and use for some parts of your page, for example.

I am sorry but what exactly is not possible with React? It is literally the same API. To prove to you, I used the same code Xena used in the article and reproduced it with React: https://codesandbox.io/s/mutable-water-y385q?file=/index.html https://codesandbox.io/s/mutable-water-y385q?file=/index.htm... No compilation. No build. Nothing. Same API too.

  It's not the same thing. GP says that the entire source code of xena can be directly copy-pasted in your business javascript code, or even in your html; no need for imports, no need for CDNs, a process under control from beginning to end. What you're proposing is essentially saying "look, it's easy to fly, here's how you do it in python": import antigravity def main(): antigravity.fly() if __name__ == '__main__': main()

    Nope. Have you actually looked at Xena's source code? She actually imports her own library: `import { g, h, x } from "/static/js/xeact.min.js";` Please see her source as I have used the same source, sans her library, to replicate it with React. Instead of importing from "/static/js/xeact.min.js", I am importing React. There is literally no other difference. > can be directly copy-pasted in your business javascript code Why can't you do the same with React? You literally can copy-paste entire React code in your HTML. Nothing stops you from doing that. Doesn't matter if you import it as a file or inline it in your HTML. It is plain old Javascript at the end of the day.
