Explainer

https://github.com/WICG/declarative-partial-updates

Specification

None

Summary

Stream HTML content out of order, and update an existing document with a stream of encoded "patches" that modify its existing content.

Blink component

Blink>HTML

Motivation

On its own, this provides a performance optimization for cases when the server is slow at producing parts of a document's content that might need to appear early in the DOM. It is part of a bigger initiative (described in the explainer) to enable developers to be able to utilize same-document updates in a way that's built in to the platform.
