Analogues > JavaScript > Advantages of IntraWeb 17

While the pure JavaScript version works, it requires a lot of manual setup:

•You need to manually write and wire together HTML, JavaScript, and logic

•You must manage DOM elements directly

•Input validation, element updates, and state tracking all have to be handled manually

By contrast, IntraWeb 17 offers:

•Cleaner structure with separate layout (.iwml) and logic (.js) files

•Automatic binding between UI and state — no need to get or update elements manually

•Minimal boilerplate — far less code for the same functionality

JavaScript

const input = document.getElementById('guessInput');

const button = document.getElementById('guessButton');

const message = document.getElementById('message');

// ... + 30 more lines of setup, DOM handling, and state logic

•Faster development — just write class properties and logic, and IntraWeb handles rendering and state

•Built-in routing and integration with Apache — no configuration required per project

In short, IntraWeb 17 makes development easier, cleaner, and more maintainable — especially as your projects grow.
