\r\n\r\n These days, JavaScript developers are spoiled for choice when it comes to the libraries and frameworks to choose from. One of the most appealing options for developers in recent years has been Vue. This lightweight and simple project that calls itself “the progressive JavaScript framework.”\r\n Vue has continued to make waves in the web development community since its launch in 2014. The framework has risen to become the second-most starred JavaScript repository on GitHub. This means it’s ahead of always-popular choices like jQuery and Angular. So what are the features of Vue that make it worth considering, and how can you take advantage of these benefits?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Vue bills itself as a “progressive JavaScript framework” and also uses the term “incrementally adoptable ecosystem.” As its name suggests, the core Vue library only represents the view layer of a standard architecture pattern. It remains simple in order to make it easy to learn and start using. However, Vue can also be expanded with hundreds of different components and libraries that enable developers to build robust single-page applications (\"SPAs\").\r\n Unlike its most direct rivals — Angular and React — Vue lacks the backing of a large company such as Google or Facebook. Nevertheless, it is used by a growing number of well-known tech firms. This includes Nintendo, Expedia, and the Chinese companies Alibaba and Baidu.\r\n
What Are the Benefits of Vue?
\r\n Vue has a number of appealing features and benefits. In fact, Vue is capable of competing with older, more established frameworks. These advantages include:\r\n Simplicity: Nearly every account about switching to Vue includes some mention of how easy it is to get up and running. For example, Git repo management platform GitLab decided to use Vue in production. They wrote that “getting started with Vue.js is extremely easy… Vue.js comes with the perfect balance of what it will do for you and what you need to do yourself.” Often, you can accomplish tasks that require dozens of lines of code in libraries like jQuery with a single line of JavaScript in Vue.\r\n Compromise: By coming after other JavaScript frameworks, Vue is able to learn from experience. It incorporates things that are appealing about React and Angular while dropping the things that aren’t. For example, Vue borrows ideas from React such as component props, one-way data binding and the virtual DOM. It also borrows ideas from Angular such as similar templates and syntax.\r\n Performance: Although each framework has things that it performs well and poorly on, Vue compares favorably with Angular and React when it comes to performance. Third-party performance tests show that Vue 2.0 outperforms Angular and is on par with React when it comes to actions such as creating, selecting, and removing rows. Much of this is thanks to the Vue virtual DOM, which is slightly more lightweight than its counterpart in React.\r\n\r\n
