Top 3 #JavaScript Framework — Aurelia, #Angular2 & #React
Lately, JavaScript was revered as the most important programming languages to learn in the year 2017 by IBM. As it is used on both client and server sides and enables a developer to enrich web apps, real-time modification of web pages, design favourable interfaces with a number of features and functionality and much more. With that said, developers have a lot of choices when it comes to JavaScript web frameworks. These frameworks function as a foundation structure for the single page apps, facilitating less worry and low maintenance about the code structure or creation of complex interface elements.
Before I go further, let me share a basic problem of frameworks in general. Many developers have been hurt by the wrong selection of the frameworks in the past. The majority of the front-end developers with the experience of say 4–5 years likely to share a backstory, switching from jQuery to Angular, then ReactJS soon after. In this article, I am going to discuss the big three web frameworks Angular2, React and Aurelia. Let’s understand the advantages and disadvantages of each framework.
Aurelia Framework
Aurelia is a modern, open source UI framework for mobile and web application. It empowers a developer to create clean, modular JavaScript. It is composed of HTML view and JavaScript view-model pairs. Aurelia focuses on leveraging simple conventions and empowering creativity. Written in next-gen EcmaScript using modern tools and technology, Aurelia offers comparatively more number of native classes, modules, decorators at their disposal. Unlike a number of monolithic frameworks, Aurelia takes a modern approach to architecture. Built using a group of collaborating libraries to form a unique, yet powerful framework for developing the SPAs (Single Page Apps). Nevertheless, in traditional websites, it can often be used individually.
