+One of the most obvious differences between Mithril and most frameworks is in file size: Mithril is around 4kb gzipped and has no dependencies on other libraries.
 
 Note that while a small gzipped size can look appealing, that number is often used to "hide the weight" of the uncompressed code: remember that the decompressed Javascript still needs to be parsed and evaluated on every page load, and this cost (which can be in the dozens of milliseconds range for some frameworks in some browsers) cannot be cached.

 Mithril is a client-side Javascript MVC framework, i.e. it's a tool to make application code divided into a data layer (called "**M**odel"), a UI layer (called **V**iew), and a glue layer (called **C**ontroller)
 
-Mithril is around 3kb gzipped thanks to its [small, focused, API](mithril.md). It provides a templating engine with a virtual DOM diff implementation for performant rendering, utilities for high-level modelling via functional composition, as well as support for routing and componentization.

 The goal of the framework is to make application code discoverable, readable and maintainable, and hopefully help you become an even better developer.

+In addition to route parameters, it's possible to pass arbitrary data to `m.route.param` using the querystring
