## Project Overview
The Odoo Web Library (OWL) is a small
UI framework intended to be the basis for the [Odoo](https://www.odoo.com/) Web Client, and hopefully many
other Odoo related projects. OWL's main feature is a _declarative component system_, with QWeb as a template engine, asynchronous rendering, and an underlying virtual dom.
The Odoo Web Library (OWL) is a small (~16kb gzipped) UI framework intended to be the basis for
the [Odoo](https://www.odoo.com/) Web Client, and hopefully many other Odoo
related projects. OWL's main features are:
- a _declarative component system_, (template based, with asynchronous rendering and a virtual dom)
- a store implementation (for state management)
- a small frontend router
**Try it online!** An online playground is available at [https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground](https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground) to let you experiment with the OWL framework.

Owl is not designed to be fast nor small (even though it is quite good on those
two topics). It is a no nonsense framework to build applications. There is only
one way to define components (with classes).
If you are interested in a comparison with React or Vue, you will
find some more information [here](doc/comparison.md).
