Blazor

Microsoft

Uis, full-stack applications using C#

– .NET libraries and tools

– C#, not Javascript

– WebAssembly C# execution (near-native)

– modern browser support

– works with any JS library

– not widely used or adopted

– best for Microsoft-oriented teams

– slower than React (no Virtual DOM)

React.js

Facebook

Ideal for building interactive UIs, complex SPAs, and mobile applications.

– Component-based architecture
– Virtual DOM (very fast UI)
– Large ecosystem of libraries

– Steeper learning curve for beginners
– Can lead to boilerplate code in larger apps

Angular

Google

Suitable for enterprise-level applications and complex SPAs with dynamic views.

– Two-way data binding
– Dependency injection
– Powerful routing model

– Performance overhead in large apps
– Steeper learning curve due to comprehensive tools

Vue.js

Evan You

Great for small to medium-sized projects, and when progressive adoption is needed.

– Easy integration
– Incremental adoption
– Strong community support

– Smaller ecosystem compared to React/Angular
– Fewer enterprise opportunities

Svelte

Rich Harris

Best for performance-sensitive applications and smaller projects.

– Easy and concise syntax
– Scoped styles
– No virtual DOM

– Newer framework with limited community support
– May require adjustment for existing devs

Ember.js

Yehuda Katz

Excellent for ambitious web applications needing convention over configuration.

– Built-in routing and data management
– Rich community resources

– Larger application size
– Steeper learning curve due to complex concepts

Backbone.js

Jeremy Ashkenas

Good for lightweight projects where flexibility is needed.

– Lightweight framework
– Modular development approach

– More boilerplate code required
– Manual code organization can complicate scaling

Aurelia

Rob Eisenberg

Suitable for large applications needing a modern framework with modularity.

– Modular architecture
– Supports TypeScript
– Powerful router

– Limited ecosystem compared to established frameworks
– Somewhat less mature tooling

Mithril.js

Mithril Team

Best for small projects where performance is critical.

– Lightweight and fast
– Strict structure for consistency

– Potential overhead with bundle size
– Vendor lock-in concerns

Polymer

Google

Ideal for developing web components and applications with reusable components.

– Focus on reusable components
– Interoperable with any JS framework

– Steeper learning curve
– Limited community support compared to larger frameworks

Alpine.js

Alpine.js Team

Best for smaller projects needing interactivity without heavy frameworks.

– Lightweight
– Declarative syntax
– Component-based architecture

– Relies on DOM manipulation
– Learning curve for newcomers to its reactive model
