# brunhild

experimental compressive Rust virtual DOM library

Brunhild aims to provide a minimalistic fast virtual DOM implementation for use

as is or for building higher level (for example, view-based) libraries and

frameworks.

Brunhild's core principle is reduction of allocations and indirection by

internally converting string values to integers, that reference a value in

either a static lookup table of common HTML strings or dynamically populated

global table. This enables most value comparisons and building of element Node

trees to be done much more cheaply.

Brunhild is mostly referenceless in relation to the DOM. Many virtual DOM

libraries create one to one Node <-> DOM Element mappings on Node construction.

Brunhild only performs this, when a DOM Element mutation is required. This

allows to cheaply patch in large subtree changes as HTML strings, reducing FFI

overhead. This is achieved by setting DOM Element IDs and storing those

efficiently as integers on the Node. As a result brunhild does not support

setting the ID attribute by the library user. Please use classes instead for

such purposes.
