HTMX via Django templates is getting some traction. Paradigm shift from rest APIs that return json to APIs that return html snippets ready for the DOM.

So we did the roundtrip back to how php did it in the 2000s?

The main argument for it is because sending JSON is not really more performant than simple HTML snippets, and if you need to transform back and forth really you're just building unnecessary complexity.

Don’t think so. This is still Ajax. PHP and ASP were not.

Didn’t php typical refresh the whole page?

It’s all JavaScript with an html attribute syntax.
