**Binding.scala** is a data-binding library for [Scala](http://www.scala-lang.org/), running on both JVM and [Scala.js](http://www.scala-js.org/).

Binding.scala can be used as the basis of UI frameworks, however latest Binding.scala 12.x does not contain any build-in UI frameworks any more. For creating reactive HTML UI, you may want to check out [html.scala](https://github.com/Atry/html.scala), which is an UI framework based on Binding.scala, and it is also the successor of previously built-in [dom](https://javadoc.io/page/com.thoughtworks.binding/dom_sjs0.6_2.12/latest/com/thoughtworks/binding/dom.html) library. See also [React / Binding.scala / html.scala Interoperability](https://github.com/Atry/ReactToBindingHtml.scala) for using existing React components with Binding.scala, 

See [Binding.scala • TodoMVC](http://todomvc.com/examples/binding-scala/) or [ScalaFiddle DEMOs](https://github.com/ThoughtWorksInc/Binding.scala/wiki/ScalaFiddle-DEMOs) as examples for common tasks when working with Binding.scala.

## Comparison to other reactive web frameworks

Binding.scala and html.scala has more features and less concepts than other reactive web frameworks like [ReactJS](https://facebook.github.io/react/).
