Seven Principles of Meteor

  • Data on the Wire. Don't send HTML over the network. Send data and let the client decide how to render it.

  • One Language. Write both the client and the server parts of your interface in JavaScript.

  • Database Everywhere. Use the same transparent API to access your database from the client or the server.

  • Latency Compensation. On the client, use prefetching and model simulation to make it look like you have a zero-latency connection to the database.

  • Full Stack Reactivity. Make realtime the default. All layers, from database to template, should make an event-driven interface available.

  • Embrace the Ecosystem. Meteor is open source and integrates, rather than replaces, existing open source tools and frameworks.

  • Simplicity Equals Productivity. The best way to make something seem simple is to have it actually be simple. Accomplish this through clean, classically beautiful APIs.
