Mogwai
Mogwai is library for multi-domain user interface development using sinks and streams.
Its goals are simple:
- provide a declarative approach to creating and managing interface nodes, without a bias towards a specific UI domain (ie web, games, desktop applications, mobile)
- encapsulate component state and compose components easily
- explicate mutations and updates
- feel snappy
Javascript/Browser DOM
This library is specific to writing mogwai apps to run in the browser via WASM.

JavaScript interoperability
This library is a thin layer on top of the web-sys
crate which provides raw bindings to tons of browser web APIs.
Many of the DOM specific structs, enums and traits come from web-sys.
It is important to understand the JsCast trait
for writing web apps in Rust. Specifically its dyn_into and dyn_ref functions
are the primary way to cast JavaScript values as specific Javascript types.
