# Hoplon [![build status][14]][15] ![epicycles][11]
[hoplon "6.0.0-alpha17"] ;; latest releaseHoplon is a set of tools and libraries for making web applications.
Hoplon provides a compiler for web application frontend development, and includes the following libraries as dependencies to complete the stack:
- Javelin: a spreadsheet-like dataflow library for managing client state. Hoplon tightly integrates with Javelin to reactively bind DOM elements to the underlying Javelin cell graph.
- Castra: a full-featured RPC library for Clojure and ClojureScript, providing the serverside environment.

<h1>Hello, Hoplon</h1>
<!-- an HTML syntax call to the my-list function -->
<my-list>
<span>first thing</span>
<span>second thing</span>
</my-list>
<!-- using dataflow to link DOM and Javelin cells -->
<p><text>You've clicked ~{clicks} times, so far.</text></p>

</html>Hoplon has been thoroughly tested on desktop and mobile devices against the following browsers:
Note that the
objectelement is not implemented for IE 8, and that older browsers that predate HTML 5 elements such asAudioandVideowill not render them. Additionally, boot development tasks such asboot-reloadandboot-cljs-repl, which inject scripts into the browser to function, do not support IE 8 (which errors when output is written to the console without the developer tools open). Testing against these browsers is best done with simple or advanced optimizations turned on.
