# JavaScript

Staying away from frameworks like React makes our code smaller and forces us to think about the foundation first. At the same time, we need a way to organize and structure the code and make it modular. For now, we think that *Stimulus* makes a good choice.

Other libraries that make sense for us are *Datastar* and *htmx*. When working with Craft CMS, both Datastar and htmx have dedicated Craft plugins.
