# ViUR html5
**html5** is a DOM-abstraction layer and API that is used to create client-side Web-Apps running in the browser and written in Python.
Look [here](https://www.viur.dev/blog/html5-library) for a short introduction.
## About
This API and framework is used to implement HTML5 web-apps using the Python programming language. The framework is an abstraction layer for a DOM running in [Pyodide](https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide), a Python 3 interpreter compiled to web-assembly.
It provides
- class abstraction for all HTML5-DOM-elements, e.g. `html5.Div()`
- a built-in HTML parser and executor to generate DOM objects from HTML-code
- helpers for adding/removing classes, arrange children, handling events etc.
The most prominent software completely established on this library is [ViUR-vi](https://github.com/viur-framework/viur-vi/), the visual administration interface for ViUR-based applications.
[ViUR](https://www.viur.dev) is a free software development framework for the [Google App Engine](https://appengine.google.com).
## Quick Start
**Warning: This section is incomplete, a working example will follow soon!**
```python
import html5
class Game(html5.Div):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(
"""
Hello Enter Name!
""")
self.sinkEvent("onChange")
def onChange(self, event):
if html5.utils.doesEventHitWidgetOrChildren(event, self.myInput):
self.mySpan.appendChild(self.myInput["value"], replace=True)
Game()
```
