# Shellfish Declarative Toolkit

In short, Shellfish is a **declarative toolkit** for JavaScript environments and targets

**full-stack development**. This means, it covers both, the client UI and the server side.

Its runtime has **no additional dependencies** and works on any compatible JavaScript

runtime environment, including:

* Modern web browsers

* Node.js

* Runtime environments like Electron or Capacitor

Shellfish also features Shui, a **modeling language** taking full advantage

of Shellfish's declarative nature.

This is what the obligatory "Hello, world!" example could look like in Shui code:

```

require "shellfish/ui";

Document {

    title: "Hello, world of declarative programming!"

    Label {

        text: parent.title

    }

}

```

Shui code is translated to JavaScript code before execution. This can either

happen on the fly as the code gets loaded, or on the server-side on demand, 

or even by shipping only pre-translated code. It's your choice.
