Framework for frontend web development Ideal for building single-page applications
Best suited for modern browsers Open source, under BSD license What is MontageJS?

</head> <body> <div data-montage-id="owner" class=“Main”> ... </div> </body> </html> !
{} JSON COMPONENT.REEL Declarative description of a component’s contents
Instantiates objects nested inside component Attach components to the page DOM Populate component properties

Bindings • Functional Reactive Bindings (FRB) • Propagate changes between
object properties • Can be 1-way or 2-way • Bind to other components or regular JavaScript objects FRB FRB

HOMOICONICITY A MontageJS component declaration is data that you can
manipulate programmatically.
Application Authoring You are already using tools, are they the
right ones? ! WYSIWYG HTML authoring has not worked ! Visual authoring that exploits MontageJS homoiconicity
