> The syntax is similar to blaze-html, but haste-perch  uses the HTM-DOM in
> the browser to create DOM elements. blaze-html creates a html bytestring in
> the server that the browser must load.

> It uses Haste.DOM

>
> Haste.DOM has primitives that invoke Javascript functions in browser like:
> For example newElem invoke  "createElement" in javascript
>
> Perch assemble a sequence of DOM calls that create the HTML tree directly
> in the browser. so you can create an application that run fully in the
> browser
>
> The tree can change depeding on different actions done by the user by
> changing the HTML tree dynamically. It is possible to create dynamic
> applications.
