Choosing a tech pile sometimes becomes a monotonous task as you need to consider certain things including app size, end-users, budget, time, project objectives, and resources. It is important to aware of the advantages and drawbacks of each framework in detail when you working as a beginner, a developer, a freelancer, or a project architect forming strategies.
I am going to write a blog post that can help you gain a better understanding of each framework along with trends and insights.

History & Benefits of Each Framework
React.js:
React.js is a JavaScript library and a great framework for building modern single-page applications of any size and scale. It is open-sourced by Facebook in 2013 and used for building UI components for web applications. Many well-known companies switched to React development language due to its outstanding features and functions; Facebook, Uber, Netflix, Twitter, Udemy, Paypal, Reddit, Tumblr, and Walmart are the name of the few tech brands.
Benefits/Aids of React.js-
- First-class Progressive Web App (PWA) support and less unwanted side effects.
- Easy to learn, use of JSX (an HTML-like syntax) for templating, simple design, and highly detailed documentation.
- Developers spend less time worrying about the framework-specific code and devote more time to writing modern JavaScript.
- Extremely fast, courtesy of React’s Virtual DOM implementation and several rendering optimizations.
- Skills learned in React can be applied to React to Native development.
- Great support for server-side rendering, and creating it a powerful framework for content-focused applications.
- The most popular framework for managing application state in React is Redux- easy to learn and master.
- React implements Functional Programming (FP) concepts, creating easy-to-test yet highly reusable code.
- Applications can be made type-safe with either Microsoft’s TypeScript or Facebook’s Flow, with both featuring native support for JSX.
Angular:
Angular is a TypeScript-based JavaScript MVVM framework backed by Google. Founded in 2009, it is an immensely popular framework for front-end development and widely popular among developers across the globe. Angular was launched as Angular 2 or Angular, which created a ground-up rewrite of AngularJS (the first version of the framework). Though it is tremendous for building highly interactive web applications, many giant organizations such as Google, Forbes, WhatsApp, Instagram, and healthcare.gov use this framework.
Benefits/Aids of Angular-
- Angular is created to be used alongside with Typescript.
- Angular-language-service allows intelligence and autocompletes inside of component external HTML template files.
- Some of the new features like a generation of Angular based NPM libraries from CLI, generation, and development of Web Components are based on Angular.
- Detailed documentation using Angular language allows getting the all necessary information for the individual developer without asking his colleagues (but it requires more time for education).
- MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel), which allows developers to work separately on the same app section using the same set of data.
- Structure and architecture are specifically created for great project scalability.
- One-way data binding that enables singular behavior for the app, which minimizes risks of possible errors.
Vue:
Vue is one of the most-discussed and rapidly growing JavaScript frameworks and used for creating highly adaptable user interfaces and sophisticated Single-page applications. It was launched in 2013 and created by former Google employee Evan You, who worked on Angular when he was a Google employee. This particular framework has an ability to build attractive UIs using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and therefore it is appreciated by developers, designers and many companies such as Alibaba, GitLab, and Baidu.
Benefits/Aids of Vue-
- Vue has many similar characteristics with Angular, which can help to empower HTML and optimize HTML blocks handling with the use of different components.
- Vue has very detailed documentation that can fasten the learning curve for developers, and save a lot of time to develop an app using only the basic knowledge of HTML and JavaScript.
- It provides a rapid switching period (easy adaptability) from other frameworks to Vue because of the similarity with Angular, and React in terms of design and architecture.
- Vue can weight around 20KB keeping its speed and flexibility (tiny size) that allows reaching much better performance in comparison to other frameworks.
- Vue can be used (amazing integration) for both building single-page applications, and more difficult web interfaces of apps.
- Vue can help to develop pretty large reusable templates that can be made with no extra time allocated due to its simple structure.
Over to You
Every framework has its pros and that there should be just the right choice for every single case during product development. We hope that after reading this blog, you are clear about the best suitable JavaScript framework for your next software app development project. Good Luck!!
