/**
 *
 * Functions for creating views (elements) with javascript objects (instead of text).
 * Can be used on the server or client. Straightforward object
 * structure and interpretation, almost like using templates.
 *
 * Benefits:
 * 1. easily reuse `templates` (simple functions that return appropriate objects).
 * 2. more natural within js code.
 * 3. IElement objects can be created more dynamically.
