What is it?

Yew is a Rust framework for building front-end web applications that run in the browser through WebAssembly. Developers declare interactive HTML using a macro that embeds Rust expressions, and the syntax is designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used JSX in React.

The framework minimizes DOM API calls during each render to keep pages responsive, and it makes it straightforward to move heavy processing into background web workers so the main thread stays free. Yew also supports JavaScript interoperability, so applications can use NPM packages and be integrated into existing JavaScript codebases.

The project is licensed under Apache-2.0 and provides documentation, examples, and a changelog in the repository, with translated docs in several languages.

Key features

  • 01Declare interactive HTML with a JSX-like macro that embeds Rust expressions.
  • 02Offload processing to background web workers to keep the UI responsive.
  • 03Minimize DOM API calls on each render.
  • 04Interoperate with JavaScript and use NPM packages.

Use cases

  • Building single-page web applications entirely in Rust.
  • Moving CPU-heavy computation off the main thread in a browser app.
  • Adding Rust-based interactive components to an existing JavaScript project.
