Software Engineering Insights

The frontend development ecosystem has been constantly upgrading, especially, the Javascript libraries and frameworks. A number of JS frameworks are being introduced to simplify UI building for the modern web. ReactJS, VueJS, EmberJS, AngularJS, MeteorJS are to name a few.

Reusable code, faster time-to-market, reduced cost, and native app like performance are some of the prominent reasons behind acceptance of cross-platform app development.

The front-end development ecosystem for web has been constantly upgrading, especially, the javascript libraries and frameworks. Had if these javascript applications not been there, developers would have to write five times the lines of code to accomplish a task, which a framework can do in ten lines. And what’s adding more power to them is huge community support that keeps bringing new possibilities for the progressive and dynamic web.

Vuejs is an increamentally-adoptable javascript framework, that’s accepted by programmers to build UI on web. With  over 77.4 million likes on Github, this progressive JS framework has been contributing to UX-friendly, dynamic experience on web.

From over two decades, Javascript has been facilitating businesses to design interactive web interfaces for their consumers and clients. Used at both client and server side, javascript capacitates developers to bring dynamicity to pages through real-time modification, extended functionality, and user experience.

Hybrid apps are often looked on as a cross platform app development solution. They are essentially small websites that runs under a native wrapper. And therefore, instead of serving as a web page, hybrid apps work as a standalone application.

Ionic is HTML5 framework, meant for hybrid mobile app development. Hybrid apps get the better of native apps, in terms of support to multiple platforms, access to third party code, and less time-to-market.

Almost all software product engineering companies struggle in the quest of choosing the best technology stack for developing their product. After all, it is the technology that can turn greatest of the ideas into a mediocre product. Hence, it is of utmost importance to ponder upon all the available technology options and choose the best.

The problem becomes more pertinent while choosing the most apt technology between ReactJS and VueJS.  Though, both technologies seem alike at the first glance, however, differences emerge as we dive deep into the core.
