Javasript and javascript frameworks for quick software development:

by Debasish Roy Career Builder in IT @ docckolkata

The popularity of Java script grows every day. It’s definitely the best scripting language which allows creating exciting interfaces and simplifies the development of web applications, being a perfect open source app development software and making the sites interactive and convenient to use.

The Javascript web development frameworks are issued and updated daily and that’s why it is difficult at times to go with the tides and understand which famework is most suitable and best matching for the project.

Before choosing a web app framework to apply the requirement and needs of the project to be taken into consideration.

The advantages of the frameworks-----

Javascript framework is a number of features and functions written in Javascript language and ready for the usage of the developers. These features simplify the interaction between the app and server and speed up the manipulating of the web page or app elements.

The main advantage of using a web application development frameworks is the fact that it provides immediate reaction to the user interacting with the site immediately.

The basic content of the traditional sites without frameworks is stored on the server and any new content , which is necessary to be upload requires reloading of pages. When frameworks are used , only the necessary blocks of a website are reloaded.

Some of the most advantageous benefits of the frameworks ‘usage:

(1) COST: The cost of the app development for websites decreases due to the JavaScript frameworks because they are free and open source code.

(2) Development speed: Java Script frameworks have good documentations. Some of the JavaScript frameworks are supported by such giant companies as Google etc. Due to such a lot of information, the speed of development increases.

(3) Efficiency: The usage of the pre-created functions and templates allows to carry out the projects more effectively. The developers have to write less code, which results in delivering projects meeting higher standards and more quickly.

Most used and popular frameworks—

JavaScript frameworks have now become one of the most preferred web app development platforms for modern single page apps, social networks, e-commerce products and other software solutions creation.

At present, without using frameworks, the development of modern web products has become almost impossible. There are Some companies are still using classical Java Script software incurring higher development costs. As a consequence of classical JS complexity, lot of frameworks have appeared in the market, but the solid leadership in the software development market belongs to these three: Angular, React and Vue.

Angular

Angular is a cross-platform framework which keeps to the MVC architectural pattern and supports a weak link between the display, data and logic of the components( integral parts of the app). Angular shifts a certain part of server services to the client side and consequently the server workload decreases and the web application becomes lighter.

Due to Typescript the project code becomes clear , convenient for developer’s understanding and contains fewer errors. Angular strong points are remarkable documentations and references.

One of the week points of Angular is the high learning curve for the projects because a JavaScript developer should know for instance , Type Script to start working with framework. It consequently makes the project fulfillment more difficult, especially the work is passed from one team to another. Another drawback of the Angular framework is the frequent release on the new versions. The 8^th one already released in June, 2019.

React.js

React—is a java script library with open source code for user-interfaces development. For the first time React was used in 2011in the face book newsfeed, then in 2012 in Instagram.

React is still being developed and supported by Face book and Instagram. It can be used not only for browser-based web apps but also for mobile apps. The aim of the framework is to provide high speed , simplicity and operability of the apps on various platforms.

However, React is not a full-fledged Framework, but a function library. To use it as a Framework, other third party libraries should be attached. React strengths are speed, lightweightness, cross-platform format and big community.

The weakness is the necessity to use third party libraries for complete work which complicates the development process. Another drawback of the library is that it does not follow the standards in HTML or CSS CODE AS Angular and Vue.js do.;

Vue.js

Vue-- is a progressive framework for user interfaces creation. Vue was made fit for gradual implementation unlike Angular or React. It means progressive framework gradually starting from certain pages, which makes the development much easier. The Vue.js creator is Even and You and the framework is widely used in Chinese companies. Not so long ago the repository management GitLab also switched to Veu.js.

Vue deals with presentations layer tasks in the first turn, it simplifies the integration with other libraries and existing projects. Vue coopted the best features of Angular and React- the speed and lightweightness and the possibility to support such technologies as Type Script and JSX. However along with this the Vue frame remained true to the principles of CSS and HTML code writing. It facilitates quick web application development and makes the processes of project development and support easier.

Thus , for any developer who knows the basics of the front-end technologies will not be a problem to develop or support the projects on Vue.

At present, a small community can be called a weak point of the Frame work as no big corporations support it. Nevertheless, popularity of the framework grows every year.

What to choose?

Every project is unique in its own way and before starting the project detailed analysis and evaluation is required.

However, there are certain key aspects, which help to choose a particular technology for development:

Speed and simplicity of project development and support.

The speed of the development depends on the technologies, already used in the projects. In case Type Script or JSC have already been applied then Angular or React correspondingly needed. But in case the project from scratch, it’s better to choose Vue .js due to its compliance with standards.

Trends:

All the frameworks are popular and will keep the leadership in the modern development marketin the coming years. It will not be a mistake to choose any of them . However Vue is vigoursly gaining popularity, followed by React.

Mobility and Stability:

Supposing one framework is chosen and then decided to switch to another one and Vue. js is the best choice in this case because re-writing the projects on Angular or React will mean that the developers will most likely need to switch Type Script or JSX code to classical Java Script and HTML correspondingly.

One more important aspect to consider is the frequency of Frameworks update. Angular has serious updates issued every 06 months, React approximately once in a year. Vue is more stable in this sese and has serious updates once in several years.
