JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages around today, and it is used by most web-developers for animating, designing, and creating web pages. JavaScript alongside CSS and HTML are very efficient languages, and they help make a web page interesting and interactive to users. JavaScript is currently used for server and client parts and it helps in the designing of attractive interfaces. You can also use it to add multiple features and functions to web apps, as well as making real-time changes to web pages.

JavaScript frameworks are quite helpful for fast application development. At a time where complicated interface elements are the norm, JS-frameworks eliminates the need for developers to worry about code support or structure. Some of the benefits of JavaScript frameworks include.

• You get a strong and safe security system.
• Most JS-frameworks are open-sourced and free, thereby reducing the cost.
• JS-frameworks help in the quick realization of different projects, as well as ready-to-use, well-structured templates.

There are many JS-frameworks around these days, and they provide solutions for various tasks. React.JS and Vue.JS are two of the top frameworks available today, and we have described and compared these two frameworks. Why compare? You may ask. These two frameworks are quite similar in many ways. In fact, Evan You, the developer of Vue, was inspired by React.JS.

React.JS

React.JS is an open source library that is used for the development of user-interfaces (UI). This framework is supported and developed by Instagram, Facebook, and other corporation communities and developers. It is very good for large-scale projects. The popularity of React.JS is evident in the type of apps using it. Apart from Instagram and Facebook, Whatsapp, Dropbox, and Netflix are other reputable apps using this framework.

Pros of React.JS

• Simplicity – This framework doesn’t involve any redundancy like the extra learning in TypeScript. The simplicity of the syntax means programmers can rely only on their HTML writing skills.
• High Responsiveness and Productivity – Virtual Dom allows you organize documents (XHTML, XML, HTML) and allowing web browsers to analyze the different components in the app. This is a significant contributor to productivity growth. Also, giving DOM a virtual approach gives responsiveness and flexibility to allocate React from similar products.
  
• Simplified Migration – One issue that comes up often when migrating from one version to the other is attention needed and the time required. This hasn’t really been an issue since Facebook started providing “codemodes” to automate various processes.

Cons of React.JS

• No Concrete Aim – The number of options available can sometimes be a disadvantage.
• Long-term Absorption – This framework requires a deep understanding of the various processes of integrating a UI to an MVC structure.
• No Official Document – React.JS is rapidly gaining popularity, although there is no proper documentation. This may be a bit tedious because some developers change things without taking a systematic approach.

Vue.JS

Vue.JS is another JavaScript framework that is open-source. Although it is still considerably new, this framework is used by many companies today. Facebook uses it for part of the Newsfeed, likewise, Grammarly that used it for creating the signature user interface that is both aesthetically pleasing and simple. Vue.JS also migrates the existing codebase easily, no wonder Behance platform planned on using it for moving to a community-supported tech from homegrown solutions.

Pros of Vue.JS

• Good Integration – The structure and component logic included in Vue.JS sets it apart from most other frameworks. Also, you can apply it to the complex web interfaces of the app and just a single page.
• Easy to understand – Vue.JS is very easy to use because of its large-scale templates. The structure is straightforward, allowing for easy bug detection in the blocks, thereby saving time.
• Clear Documentation – Vue.JS provides developers with sufficient, in-depth documentation for easy understanding of how the framework functions. This is, in fact, an advantage of Vue.JS over React.JS.
  
• Adaptability – It is really easy to migrate from or between other frameworks and Vue.JS.

Cons of Vue.JS

• Language – One of the biggest drawbacks of using Vue.JS is the fact that most of the coding is written in Chinese, thereby complicating the work.
• Small Resources – Vue.JS has relatively low chances compared to some other frameworks, which is why knowledge sharing is still at an initial stage.

Who is our winner?

And then out contest comes to an end. Obviously, there isn’t a clear winner since the two frameworks are quite strong contestants. It all depends on your personal preference really and the importance of the various factors to you. You can decide to use the React.JS for a large-scale app because of its ease of development. If you plan on creating a simple application with good integration and clear documentation, then you can use the Vue.JS. The important thing though is the willingness to combine different approaches, experiment, and create some really nice.
