// Package gomponents provides declarative view components in Go, that can render to HTML5.
// The primary interface is a Node, which has a single function Render, which should render
// the Node to a string. Furthermore, NodeFunc is a function which implements the Node interface
// by calling itself on Render.
// All DOM elements and attributes can be created by using the El and Attr functions.
// The package also provides a lot of convenience functions for creating elements and attributes
// with the most commonly used parameters. If they don't suffice, a fallback to El and Attr is always possible.
