PushMode - HTML streaming for Java

PushMode is a server-side Java library that streams web app's HTML output down to the browser while user's actions are streamed back to the server. The only code the browser ever sees is a tiny JavaScript file. Application effectively runs all on the server, but interactivity is almost the same as if it was running in the browser. This architecture has its advantages. PushMode is reactive by default as it is based on Hookless.

Status

Read-only streaming of HTML to the client is fairly stable. Streaming of user input to the server is early alpha. Browser APIs (e.g., history manipulation) aren't implemented at all. Development stage is tracked on package and class level using Stagean annotations.
