# `SigPro` ⚛️
### **The Atomic Reactivity Engine for the Modern Web.**
**SigPro** is an ultra-lightweight rendering engine designed for extreme performance. By eliminating the Virtual DOM and heavy compilers, it achieves **surgical reactivity** in less than 2KB.

## ⚡ Real-World Benchmarks
SigPro isn't just "fast on paper." In the industry-standard **JS Framework Benchmark**, it consistently outperforms the most popular libraries by operating at near-native speeds with almost zero memory overhead.
### 🚀 Execution Speed (CPU)
*Lower is better. Measured in milliseconds (ms).*
| Benchmark Test | **SigPro** | SolidJS | Vue 3 | React 18 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Surgical Update** (10th row) | **46.8ms** | ~48ms | ~75ms | ~158ms |
| **Direct Selection** (on click) | **17.5ms** | ~18ms | ~32ms | ~65ms |
| **Initial Render** (1k rows) | **~35ms** | ~32ms | ~45ms | ~70ms |
### 🧠 Memory Footprint
*Lower is better. Measured in Megabytes (MB) after 1k rows.*
| Metric | **SigPro** | Vanilla JS | Svelte | React |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Ready Memory** (Idle) | **1.05 MB** | 1.01 MB | ~2.8 MB | ~10.4 MB |
| **Run Memory** (1k rows) | **4.90 MB** | 4.25 MB | ~10.2 MB | ~28.5 MB |
> **The Verdict:** SigPro delivers **Vanilla-like memory consumption** while maintaining **Surgical reactivity** that rivals (and often beats) SolidJS in granular updates.

## Why SigPro?
While other frameworks "guess" what changed by comparing massive DOM trees (Diffing), **SigPro already knows.**
* 🎯 **Atomic Precision:** Powered by a *Signal-based* architecture. State is bound directly to DOM nodes—when a value changes, **only that specific node updates**.
* 🚀 **Zero-Hydration Bottlenecks:** No 100KB bundles or complex build steps. SigPro is pure, optimized JavaScript tailored for the browser's native engine.
* 🍦 **Pure Vanilla JS Performance:** High-octane performance without the need for transpilers or heavy transformations. It runs natively in the browser just as well as it does in complex build pipelines.
* 🛠️ **Build-Tool Agnostic:** Total freedom. Use it with **Vite, Webpack, or Rollup** for enterprise projects, or simply import it via a **`<script>` tag** for rapid prototyping. No tooling required.
* 🚀 **Vite-Powered DX:** First-class Vite support with **file-based routing** out of the box. The official `sigpro/vite` plugin automatically scans your `src/pages` directory and generates reactive routes—no manual route configuration needed.
* 📈 **Zero-Scale Bloat:** Unlike other frameworks where the bundle grows exponentially, SigPro's footprint remains **flat and predictable**. You only pay for the code you write.
* 💎 **Premium DX (Developer Experience):** Forget boilerplate imports. SigPro injects an elegant, functional syntax (`Div()`, `Button()`, `Span()`) directly into your scope for a **"Zero-Import"** workflow.
* 📦 **Fully Loaded:** Built-in Hash Routing, native **`localStorage` persistence**, and automatic lifecycle management (cleanups) included in less than 2KB.
* 🌳 **Tree-Shakable:** Optimized for modern bundlers. Import only what you use, or load the full engine for rapid prototyping.

## Elegance in Action
Create reactive, persistent components with a syntax that feels like Vanilla JS, but works like magic:
```html
<div id="app"></div>
```
```javascript
const Counter = () => {
// Simple signal
const value = $(100);
// One-line persistence: state survives page reloads automatically
const count = $(0, "user-counter-pref");
// Computed: automatically updated when count() or value() changes
const doubleValue = $(()=> value() * count());
// Create fast HTML with pure JS
return Div({ class: "card" }, [
H1(`Count: ${count()}, Reference: ${value()}, Double x Ref: ${doubleValue()}`),
P("Atomic updates. Zero re-renders of the parent tree."),
Button({ onclick: () => count(c => c + 1)}, "Increment +1")
]);
};
$mount(Counter, "#app");
```

## Performance Without Compromise
| Feature | **SigPro** | React / Vue | Svelte |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Payload (Gzipped)** | **< 1.8KB** | ~30KB - 50KB | ~5KB (Compiled Runtime) |
| **State Logic** | **Atomic Signals** | Virtual DOM Diffing | Compiler Dirty Bits |
| **Update Speed** | **Direct Node Access** | Component Re-render | Block Reconciliation |
| **Native Persistence** | **Included ($)** | Requires Plugins | Manual |
| **Dependencies** | **Zero** | Many | Build Toolchain |
| **Lifecycle Mgmt** | **Automatic (Cleanup Root)** | Manual / Hook-based | Manual / Hook-based |
| **Routing** | **Reactive Hash ($router) + File-based (Vite)** | Virtual Router (External) | File-based / External |
| **Learning Curve** | **Zero (Vanilla JS)** | Steep (JSX/Templates) | Medium (Directives) |

## Scalable Architecture with Vite
SigPro scales from micro-widgets to full enterprise dashboards. With the official Vite plugin, routing becomes effortless:
```text
src/
├── 📂 pages/ # File-based routing (auto-scanned)
│ ├── index.js # → /
│ ├── about.js # → /about
│ ├── blog/
│ │ ├── index.js # → /blog
│ │ └── [slug].js # → /blog/:slug
│ └── docs/
│ └── [...all].js # → /docs/*
├── 📂 components/ # Reusable components
└── 📄 main.js # App Entry & Mounting
```
**Vite Plugin Setup:**
```javascript
// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { sigproRouter } from 'sigpro/vite';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [sigproRouter()]
});
```
The plugin automatically:
- Scans your `src/pages` directory recursively
- Generates route definitions from file paths
- Supports dynamic segments (`[param]`) and catch-all routes (`[...param]`)
- Provides automatic 404 fallback
- Enables lazy-loading out of the box
-----
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install sigpro
```
**With Vite (Recommended for larger apps):**
```bash
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template vanilla
cd my-app
npm install sigpro
```
**Or without build tools:**
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/sigpro"></script>
```
