πŸ” JavaScript Proxies in 2025: Native Reactivity Without a Framework

Want reactive behavior without Vue or MobX? You already have the tools:
βœ… Proxy intercepts reads, writes, deletes β€” perfect for logging, validation, or custom logic.
βœ… Reflect safely delegates to real object operations β€” no side effects, no recursion traps.
βœ… Combine them to build form validators, access logs, undo stacks, and reactive UIs β€” natively.

With just these two features, your plain objects can monitor, report, and adapt β€” without any external libraries.
