jsxr is a transform for rendering real DOM nodes without React. It supports custom components and inline styles. Custom component variables must be PascalCase to work correctly with the Babel JSX transpiler. Inline styles should be camelCase (marginTop instead of margin-top).

npm install jsxr

import jsxr from 'jsxr';

// The jsxPragma can also be configured in Babel
/** @jsx jsxr */

// Note that custom components should be written in PascalCase.
// Otherwise, the Babel JSX transpiler will pass the variable name
// as a string instead of a reference to the component.
const Letters = (
  <ul>
    {['A', 'B', 'C'].map(item => <li>{ item }</li>)}
  </ul>
);

const styles = {
  backgroundColor: '#fff',
  padding: '0 5px',
};

const Container = (
  <div className='letters' style={ styles }>
    <Letters />
  </div>
);

import fs from 'fs';
import browserify from 'browserify';
import babelify from 'babelify';

browserify('./script.js', { debug: true })
  .transform(babelify.configure({
    jsxPragma: 'jsxr'
  }))
  .bundle()
  .on('error', function (err) {
    console.log(`Error : ${ err.message }`);
  })
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('bundle.js'));

// script.js
// jsxr variable must be defined
import jsxr from 'jsxr';

// gulpfile.babel.js
import gulp from 'gulp';
import babel from 'babel/register';
import mocha from 'gulp-mocha';

gulp.task('test', function() {
  return gulp.src(['test/**/*.js'])
    .pipe(mocha({
      compilers: {
        js: babel({
          jsxPragma: 'jsxr'
        })
      }
    }));
});

// test/**/*.js
// jsxr variable must be defined
import jsxr from 'jsxr';

Inspired by callumlocke/plain-jsx. It adds support for custom component elements, inline styles and using DOM property names (e.g. className instead of class), in order to add consistency for React developers.
