I've never used it, but sounds like you could pair a static-site generator and htmx for your particular use-case.

Alternatively if you want to work with JSON, Vue.js stills runs within the browser without any build dependencies — it's what I use for small utilities or site mocks, just a little weighty as it includes the template parsing engine — but not mandatory.
