==Implementation==
Although Snap''!'' is implemented in JavaScript using an [[HTML5]] Canvas [[application programming interface]] (API), it is actually built on top of ''Morphic.js''<ref name="morphic_js">{{cite web |last1=Mönig |first1=Jens |title=morphic.js |url=https://github.com/jmoenig/morphic.js/blob/master/morphic.txt |website=GitHub |accessdate=7 June 2023}}</ref>, a [[Morphic (software)|Morphic]] GUI, which serves as 'middle layer' between Snap! itself and 'bare' JavaScript.

All things visible in Snap''!'' are morphs themselves, i.e. all buttons, sliders, dialog boxes, menus,entry fields, text rendering, blinking cursors etc. are created with morphic.js rather than using HTML DOM elements. All user interaction is triggered by events, which are passed on from the root element - the World - to its submorphs.
