This podcast centers on the integration of HTMX into Drupal, an open-source content management system. The hosts and guests, including Carson Gross, creator of HTMX, and Sean Duncan, a Drupal Core Ajax maintainer, discuss what HTMX is—a hypermedia-oriented front-end library that generalizes the ideas of links and forms to enable dynamic web experiences without extensive JavaScript. They thoroughly examine how Drupal plans to replace its existing, older Ajax API with HTMX to improve performance, simplify development, and enhance the user interface, highlighting the benefits of HTMX's declarative, attribute-driven approach. The discussion also touches upon the Refreshless module, which uses a similar concept to provide an application-like feel to Drupal sites, and the broader implications of adopting external libraries within large open-source projects.
