Solid (often SolidJS) is an open-source reactive JavaScript library created by Ryan Carniato.

Solid (often SolidJS) is an open-source reactive JavaScript library created by Ryan Carniato. It offers a syntax very close to React (JSX, components) but is built on a fine-grained reactivity system, with no Virtual DOM.

In Solid, components do not re-run on every state change: only the parts of the DOM that depend on a modified signal are updated. This delivers performance among the best on the market and a very small bundle.

SolidStart is the equivalent of Next.js in the Solid ecosystem. The project has a smaller community than React but has influenced the recent evolution of several other frameworks (Svelte 5 runes, Vue Vapor).
