I haven't used htmx, but this doesn't seem to be true at all. The equivalent state would also be in the client, as URL and HTML.


The state is represented by the url and html, but that's not the same as managing state in client-side memory using Javascript.

Hypermedia Systems is a great read, by the htmx creator, available here:

But it's not on the server any more than with a JS app.


Not sure I understand what you mean.


The equivalent of the JS state doesn't live in the server side session, or something like that.


The client doesn't produce those URLs or HTML - the server does. That's just what the user sees.
