Abstract
AppRun ( https://apprunjs.org ) is a JavaScript library for developing applications using the Elm architecture, events, and components. It is an open source project released and published on GitHub ( https://github.com/yysun/apprun ) under the MIT license. The goal of introducing this library into the world, which already has many frameworks and libraries, is to make it simple for developers to build high-performance and reliable applications. The simplicity of AppRun brings many benefits. Developers can learn it easily and quickly develop product-ready applications. Developers also can maintain and improve the applications easily because they are architecturally simple. jQuery has ruled the development world for a long time because it is simple. However, jQuery lacks architectural rules for complex applications. Other frameworks and libraries have been invented for developing complex applications. However, then the development becomes more difficult, with more concepts to learn and more rules to follow.
