Getting Started with Astro: The Modern Web Framework (Dummy)

What is Astro?

Astro is a modern web framework that allows you to build faster websites with less client-side JavaScript. It uses a unique “islands architecture” that lets you deliver highly optimized HTML with optional JavaScript when needed.

Why Choose Astro?

There are several compelling reasons to choose Astro for your next project:

1. Performance-First Approach

Astro ships zero JavaScript by default, resulting in extremely fast page loads. Each component can opt into client-side hydration only when necessary.

2. Framework Agnostic

One of the most powerful features of Astro is its ability to work with components from multiple frameworks. You can use React, Vue, Svelte, and more - all in the same project!

// Example React component in Astro
import { useState } from 'react';

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  
  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
      Clicked {count} times
    </button>
  );
}
