5 Best JavaScript Frameworks (2022 Guide)

JavaScript is the most popular programming language right now. We can build dynamic frontend web pages, build web servers and develop server applications, etc. JavaScript frameworks make it very easier to build a website in a very less period without starting from scratch. This article will be a comprehensive Guide to JavaScript frameworks. First, let’s learn about JavaScript frameworks and what they do.

JavaScript Framework 

First, let’s discuss frameworks. Frameworks are a set of pre-written structures that can be used to complete tasks easily. JavaScript frameworks are a collection of libraries that provide developers with pre-written code for a variety of routine programming tasks. JavaScript frameworks are like templates you customize them in whatever you like.

It’s possible to build a completely interactive dynamic website without using frameworks. But frameworks provide templates that can finish your coding tasks fastly and easily. Instead of starting from scratch, you can use these frameworks to complete your tasks.

For example, when we are building a resume for ourselves we don’t start from scratch right? Instead, we search for some templates and customize them to whatever we like. Here the templates are frameworks. In the same way, we can use JavaScript frameworks ad customize them in whatever we like. Like every framework JavaScript frameworks also have some set of rules. Using these rules a developer can build complex features more productively. We will discuss these rules in later sections.

Need of frameworks 

Frameworks play an essential role in creating applications. As it helps the developer be more productive. And helps the developer to be more creative instead of doing the same tasks again and again. Using an appropriate framework to build your required application is very much important.

JavaScript framework helps you render stuff (displaying on a webpage). Which makes your web application dynamic. Data handling and event handling are also done by JavaScript frameworks. Well, there are a dozen of JavaScript frameworks out there. In the next section, we will discuss JavaScript frameworks.

Best JavaScript Frameworks 

React

React is the most popular JavaScript framework. It was developed by Facebook(Meta) in 2013, and since then it is been one of the best frameworks in JavaScript frameworks. React is an open-source library. Technically React is not a framework it is a JavaScript Library. However, react is as good as a complete framework.

React is a component-based framework. You can reuse these components again and again without rewriting the whole code. React is more popular in creating interactive user interfaces. If the website your creating has more interactive features then React is your go-to option. To get started in React all you need to do is enter this command in your terminal

C:\Users> npx create-react-app my-app
Code language: Bash (bash)

(nodejs should be installed). React is very easy to learn if you know about JavaScript.React has a massive community of developers worldwide. Many websites use React. Some of them are Netflix, BBC, Reddit, and Uber and all the websites designed by Meta use React (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp). If you want to learn more about React you can check out our codedamn courses. Check out other articles about React here.

Vue.js

It is one of the easiest frameworks to learn. If you have a little knowledge of JavaScript you can learn this easily. It is used to develop small-scale websites, single-page interfaces, and apps. It is not used for big applications.

It is based on virtual DOM. Vue.js is also an open-source framework. Using the Reactive two-way binding feature you can create high-end SPA (single-page applications). You can learn more about vue on their official docs. Some of the websites using Vue.js are Facebook, Netflix, Google, Apple, BMW, Adobe, etc.

Svelte

Svelte was developed by RichHarris and was initially released in 2016. It is one of the most loved frameworks. Svelte is a front-end compiler, not a JavaScript runtime browser. Virtual DOM is not supported, and very less code so apps perform faster.

Svelte files come with .svelte an extension. It is a web framework that compiles your app into vanilla JavaScript /HTML/CSS. It converts the declarative code (the code you write ) into imperative code. As a result, you will get highly performant code in small packages. You can learn more about Svelte on their official docs

Solid.js

Solid is a declarative JavaScript framework for building fast UIs with maximum control over-reactivity. Solid has many similarities with react components. But it doesn’t use virtual DOM it uses a compiler more like svelte which converts your code into JavaScript, interestingly the framework itself only weights 7kilobytes and instead of re-rendering the entire component unlike react, it changes the framework will observe the data and it updates its exact location in dom.

It supports lazy loading and context SSR support and all the modern JavaScript framework features. It uses a veet as the build tool, in this way you can build your projects, you can go to their official website to learn more about it.

Qwik

Qwik is the newest web framework in JavaScript frameworks. Qwik introduced a  technique that eliminates the need for hydration, which leads to a perfect Google page speed score, eliminating the need for meta-frameworks like Next.js.

It delivers HTML that is instantly interactive no matter how much big and complexity is your JavaScript code is upon rendering the application, everything in the code is lazy loading such as event handler events are serialized directly in HTML.

The best thing is you don’t need to load JavaScript until the user interacts with UI. To reduce the amount of rendering code. You can read about it on their official website.

Conclusion

It was all about JavaScript frameworks. Do check out the article and course on Codedamn for JavaScript if you would like to learn more about the language. Before we conclude I wanna tell you about a new coding playground. Yes, you heard it right codedamn offers its coding platform called codedamn online playground which is completely free of cost to know more about it visit this article.

Learning JavaScript frameworks is very much important in a web developer’s carrier. Selection of the right framework which suits best for your application is very important. Every framework has an official documentation page read it thoroughly before using it. That’s it from the article. Hope you learn something new. Thank you
