    The point of htmx is to be able to do the interactivity on the server, so using it with your existing, general API isn't really the point - the backend (or, well, frontend backend?…

    The JVM can't really be properly sandboxed, though. Even the JDK developers have stopped trying and deprecated SecurityManager. On the other hand, WASM is specifically designed to …

    You just return an HTML fragment that describes the error with a header that says where to put it. The htmx JS API has events for errors too, if you want to do client-side handling…
