Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JavaScript framework?

It is a library or toolkit that provides structure and reusable components for building web applications, handling concerns such as rendering, routing and state.

React, Angular or Vue?

React is the most widely used UI library and relies on a large ecosystem, Angular is a full opinionated framework, and Vue is approachable and incremental. The best fit depends on team skills.

What is a meta-framework?

A framework such as Next.js, Nuxt or Astro that builds on a UI library to add routing, server rendering and build tooling.

Node.js, Deno or Bun?

Node.js is the established runtime with the largest ecosystem; Deno and Bun are newer runtimes that emphasise built-in tooling, security or speed.

Are all listed frameworks still active?

Some older projects are in maintenance mode, so check recent releases before starting a new project.
