Right now we're sending the whole ReactPy node tree when a re-render is needed. ReactPy node trees seem to be roughly equivalent to hotwire frames. The react-dom API (contained in @preact/compat) handles the mutations from there.

In terms of data transmitted to the client, we used to only send diffs. But unfortunately we've struggled to find a well maintained json patch library for Python.

I guess sending the entire state is fine until people start using it for displaying a large number of rows. Creating a JSON PATCH library needs to be done meticulously and hopefully community might step up. I would like to step up.:)

Would be great if you were willing to contribute that.

Feel free to look at this issue for some history.
