> a big frontend component that loads as a Single Page Application and then performs navigation by requesting the content in JSON form, which then gets "rehydrated" client-side.

Huh? <confused-dog.jpg> Either the page gets rendered server-side and (possibly) hydrated client-side, or it gets rendered client-side (i.e. a classic SPA) but then there is no hydration.




the "hydrated" means that external objects (JSON) are added to the running SPA.


Is this a common definition of "hydration" and I've missed it all these years? For me that "adding to the running SPA" part is called rendering.


I agree with you. I think that's why he used " (and probably not knowing/thinking about a better term).
