Structured libraries and tools for building web applications with JavaScript

Core Idea:

JavaScript frameworks provide structured, opinionated approaches to building web applications, offering developers ready-made solutions for common challenges like state management, component organization, and DOM manipulation.

Connections:

Frontend Frameworks

  1. React
    • Use Case: Single-page applications, complex UIs with frequent updates
    • Other Uses: React Native for mobile apps, React VR for virtual reality
  2. Vue.js
    • Use Case: Progressive web apps, prototyping, smaller applications
    • Other Uses: Weex for cross-platform development, Vuido for desktop apps
  3. Angular
    • Use Case: Enterprise-scale applications, complex data-driven websites
    • Other Uses: Ionic framework integration, PWAs, mobile applications
  4. Svelte
    • Use Case: Highly performant UIs, small to medium projects
    • Other Uses: Sapper/SvelteKit for full-stack, Svelte Native for mobile
  5. Alpine.js
    • Use Case: Simple DOM manipulations, enhancing HTML with minimal JS
    • Other Uses: Enhancing server-rendered applications
  6. Preact
    • Use Case: Lightweight alternative to React for performance-critical applications
    • Other Uses: PWAs, embedded widgets in existing apps
  7. Solid.js
    • Use Case: High-performance reactive applications
    • Other Uses: SolidStart for full-stack apps, server-side rendering
  8. Lit
    • Use Case: Web components and design systems
    • Other Uses: Custom elements for CMS integrations, microfrontends

Backend Frameworks

  1. Node.js + Express
    • Use Case: REST APIs, web servers, microservices
    • Other Uses: Command-line tools, real-time services
  2. Nest.js
    • Use Case: Enterprise backend services, complex server architectures
    • Other Uses: Microservices, GraphQL APIs, WebSocket services
  3. Deno/Fresh
    • Use Case: Secure server applications, edge computing
    • Other Uses: CLI tools, standalone executables
  4. Fastify
    • Use Case: High-performance API servers, microservices
    • Other Uses: Serverless functions, real-time applications
  5. Adonis.js
    • Use Case: Full-stack MVC applications
    • Other Uses: REST APIs, authentication systems

Full-Stack Frameworks

  1. Next.js
    • Use Case: Server-rendered React applications, static sites
    • Other Uses: API routes, e-commerce platforms, blogs
  2. Nuxt.js
    • Use Case: Server-rendered Vue applications, static sites
    • Other Uses: Content sites, marketing pages, PWAs
  3. Remix
    • Use Case: Server-rendered React with focus on web fundamentals
    • Other Uses: Complex forms, nested routing applications
  4. Astro
    • Use Case: Content-focused static sites with partial hydration
    • Other Uses: Documentation sites, marketing pages, blogs

Specialized Frameworks

  1. Electron
    • Use Case: Cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies
    • Other Uses: System utilities, productivity tools, IDEs
  2. Tauri
    • Use Case: Lightweight desktop applications with native performance
    • Other Uses: System tray utilities, cross-platform tools
  3. Quasar
    • Use Case: Cross-platform development from single codebase
    • Other Uses: Desktop applications, PWAs, mobile applications
