Vue is more suitable for small projects, and React is more suitable for large companies and large projects; Vue has a low learning cost and is easy to use, but the quality of the project cannot be guaranteed...
Is it really? With the help of this article, let's look at this issue objectively from the comparison of some aspects.
On the Richness of Documentation
Look at this problem from two aspects: the support of the community and the completeness of the documentation
As with any programming language or framework, community support is crucial. React was created by Facebook to sustain ever-growing ad campaign traffic. Facebook workers are constantly updating the framework with new, modern and advanced features. Thus, the platform finally built a strong reliability for this library in the huge React community.
Although Vue lacks the support of top brands, over the years, Vue has gained huge popularity and support in the Vue community of developers on its merits. However, compared to the magnitude of the crowd, it is still several grades behind React.
Let's talk about the completeness of the documentation. Both have extensive documentation (including Chinese documentation). React's documentation is good, and Vue has a well-designed FAQ section that tries to answer most of the questions a developer might have.
PK in performance
React is a front-end library that works on the virtual DOM, which can enhance the performance of any application.
The reason why Vue has so many "fans" is not groundless, it makes the development process very simple. After min+gzip, the final project weighs 20kb, which is unmatched compared to all other frameworks, improves performance and stimulates the development process, and allows developers to separate templates to virtual DOM.
From the perspective of openness and scalability, Vue is pro-developer, but from the perspective of technical components and technical ecological support, React is backed by Facebook, which is unmatched by many open source frameworks.
Small program support and expansion
The native development of small programs still has a certain technical threshold, so it usually requires framework encapsulation and code conversion. Common frameworks include Taro, wepy and other frameworks. Taro uses the React technology stack, and wepy uses the Vue technology stack.
The emergence of small program container technology can enable enterprises' apps to have the ability to run small programs, forming an innovative app development model of "Native + small programs". Some of the more well-known small program container technology products on the market include: WeChat, Alipay, Baidu, Douyin small programs, etc., all of which are based on the technology base to improve the small program ecology of the big social platform, and can provide third parties for privatization deployment There are: FinClip , mPaaS and other products. It is understood that the small program container technology independently developed by FinClip can enable enterprises’ apps to have the ability to quickly run small programs, and their SDK can also be embedded in smart device terminals other than apps (such as Linux, Windows, MacOS, Kirin and other operating systems). Its advantages are also very obvious:
-
Cross-platform capability: a set of small program codes can run on both iOS and Android (even on a variety of terminals other than mobile phones, including Linux, Windows, MacOS, Kirin and other operating systems);
-
Experience far beyond H5 (support local cache, Webview, rich components and support library);
-
Can obtain more system permissions and complete richer product designs;
-
DOM leaks can be avoided;
-
Packet size is effectively reduced, saving traffic and storage
-
Support hot update, so that the service is no longer restricted by the release version
With the ecological blessing of WeChat applets, the applet container technology, as a cross-terminal connection technology, has been widely used and recognized. At the same time, the convenience of React and Vue frameworks for small program packaging and conversion support has greatly expanded the development ecology of hybrid apps.
simple summary
Both React and Vue are great options for creating web applications. React is backed by tech giants and a huge open source community, and the codebase is massively scalable, allowing you to create enterprise-grade web applications. React has a large number of qualified and even excellent developer fans who can solve any problems you may encounter during the development phase.
Without a doubt, React is the best framework for creating cross-platform solutions. Vue is still new to the front-end developer's ranks, and it has a reputation for being easy to learn and implement. There is only the most suitable choice for a development project, not the absolute best framework. Every project has its own unique needs, team background, and time constraints, so choosing the right framework requires careful weighing of various factors.
