Isomorphic Javascript: Searchable, Less-Bloated Web Development
Isomorphic Javascript is a web development design choice that uses Javascript as the primary language no both client and server. The use of Isomorphic Javascript allows code sharing between both the frontend and backend of the app.
Isomorphic Javascript stands in contrast to the trend towards “Single Page” Javascript apps. Single page apps tend to require a lot of Javascript code and are very large. The initial downloads can be very slow and without running the Javascript code, search engines aren’t able to scan the web pages to determine and index content.
The lifecycle of an Isomorphic Javascript app is as follows:
- Server-side Javascript renders HTML and then delivers to the client
- Client browser loads the HTML
- Client-side Javascript loads and does a final bootstraps the application
- Subsequent interactions on the page are primarily handled by client-side Javascript
Some of the advantages of Isomorphic Javascript include:
- Faster page load time — most of the page is pre-rendered on the server
- Improved SEO searchability — “single page” client-side Javascript often are not easily search-engine friendly
- Slimmer client apps — less Javascript needed on the frontend
Examples of Isomorphic Javascript frameworks include:
