Details

Phoenix uses a server-side model–view–controller (MVC) pattern. [2] Based on the Plug library, [3] and ultimately the Erlang HTTP server Cowboy, [4] it was developed to provide highly performant and scalable web applications. In addition to the request/response functionality provided by the underlying Cowboy server, [5] Phoenix provides soft realtime communication to external clients through WebSockets or long polling using its language agnostic channels feature. [6] [7]

Two notable features of Phoenix are LiveView and HEEx. LiveView provides real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML over HTTP and WebSocket. [8] HEEx is Phoenix's templating language which provides HTML-aware compile time checking. [9]
