Why pair Ktor with htmx?

Ktor is a lightweight Kotlin server framework with explicit routing and strong test support. htmx complements it by moving common browser behavior back into HTML attributes, so the server can keep returning simple, cacheable, inspectable markup.

Less client state

The browser asks for the next piece of UI and receives HTML, reducing the need for duplicated client models.

Better server leverage

Authentication, validation, templates, and tests stay close to the Ktor code that already owns the request.
