Principles of Meteor

  • Data on the Wire. Meteor doesn't send HTML over the network. The server sends data and lets the client render it.

  • One Language. Meteor lets you write both the client and the server parts of your application in JavaScript.

  • Database Everywhere. You can use the same methods to access your database from the client or the server.

  • Latency Compensation. On the client, Meteor prefetches data and simulates models to make it look like server method calls return instantly.

  • Full Stack Reactivity. In Meteor, realtime is the default. All layers, from database to template, update themselves automatically when necessary.

  • Embrace the Ecosystem. Meteor is open source and integrates with existing open source tools and frameworks.

  • Simplicity Equals Productivity. The best way to make something seem simple is to have it actually be simple. Meteor's main functionality has clean, classically beautiful APIs.
