CSS, HTML & JS Frameworks for Robust Web Design & Development

With the launch of JS, CSS and HTML frameworks, developers can easily create secure, scalable and high-performance apps, as well as extend the functionality of a number of applications.

Frameworks have helped developers to better focus on building user-driven applications which has helped users to get involved and utilize the hi-end functionality of these frameworks in the form of applications. It is a bit difficult to select the best options among the framework.  

Here is more on the exceptional functionality of these frameworks.

JavaScript Frameworks

Angular.js
Released in 2009 and available as open source framework under MIT license, AngularJS is the most popular JavaScript frameworks. AngualrJS user base has grown at a phenomenal pace and boasts the biggest community of developers for JavaScript framework. AngualrJS is a toolset widely used for developing single page web applications. Fully extensible, AngualrJS works well with other libraries. Every feature can be modified to meet your unique development workflow and needs.  

When compared with other framework, there is no need to inherit from proprietary types to wrap the model in accessors methods. Angular models are JavaScript objects which makes your code easy to test, maintain, and reuse. AngularJS framework gives super powers to HTML by including features needed to build dynamic views. It gives option to extend HTML attributes by the use of Angular directives.

React.js
React.js, an open source JavaScript library providing a view for data rendered as HTML. Maintained by Facebook and Instagram, React.js was first released as open source in 2013 under BSD license. React provides programmers a model where  subcomponents can’t directly affect enclosing components; efficient update of HTML document when data changes; as well as a clean separation between components on a modern single-page application.

ReactJS is considered to be the best at rendering complex user interfaces with high performance. The basic fundamental empowering React is the concept of virtual DOM. ReactJS uses a virtual DOM, which can be rendered at client side or server side and connect backward and forward.

Ember.js
Initially released in 2011 as open source JavaScript framework by Yehuda Katz under MIT license, EmberJS is robust MVC JavaScript framework. EmberJS helps build highly interactive frontend user interfaces and consist an active community of developers.

Ember also functions on the principal of two way data binding i.e. update view when model changes and update model when the view changes. This keeps both in sync all time. Considered to be among the top JavaScript Frameworks, Ember is strengthening its functionality with features such as Fastboot.js module allowing server side rendering of DOM for better performance in complex UI rendering.

Ember combines best of both world, AngularJS (two way data binding) and ReactJS (server side rendering).

HTML Frameworks
