JS/CSS Frameworks

A JavaScript library by Meta (Facebook) for building user interfaces using components. It uses a virtual DOM and declarative approach, enabling efficient rendering. It is the most widely used frontend framework in the world.

A full-stack React framework by Vercel with support for server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API routes. It provides file-based routing, image optimization, and automatic code-splitting. The standard for production React applications.

A progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It combines the best features of React and Angular with an easier learning curve. Supports the Composition API and a reactive system.

A full-stack framework built on Vue.js with support for SSR, SSG, and hybrid rendering. It provides automatic routing, the Nitro server engine, and modular architecture. It is the Next.js equivalent for the Vue ecosystem.

A comprehensive TypeScript framework by Google for building single-page applications. It offers dependency injection, reactive forms, routing, and an HTTP client built into the core. Suitable for large enterprise projects.

A compiler-based framework that shifts work from the browser to the build step. It generates minimal vanilla JavaScript without a virtual DOM. The result is faster and smaller applications compared to traditional frameworks.

A full-stack framework for Svelte with support for SSR, SSG, and SPA modes. It provides file-based routing, form actions, and adaptable deployment across various platforms. The officially recommended way to build Svelte applications.

A lightweight JavaScript framework for adding interactivity directly to HTML. It works similarly to Tailwind, but for JavaScript — declarative attributes in markup. Ideal for small interactive components without requiring a build system.

A library that enables access to modern browser features directly from HTML. It supports AJAX requests, CSS transitions, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events through HTML attributes. An alternative to SPA frameworks with a focus on hypermedia.

A web framework focused on content-driven websites with minimal client-side JavaScript. It supports the islands architecture and integration with React, Vue, Svelte, and more. Ideal for blogs, documentation, and marketing sites.

A full-stack React framework focused on web standards and progressive enhancement. It leverages nested routing, server-side data loading, and native HTML forms. Since 2024, it is part of the React Router v7 project.

A React framework focused on static site generation with a GraphQL data layer. Once popular for blogs and marketing sites. Development has significantly slowed down after the acquisition by Netlify.

Historically the most influential JavaScript library, which simplified DOM manipulation, AJAX, and animations. Still present on millions of websites, but modern browsers now provide equivalent native APIs. Not recommended for new projects.

The most popular CSS framework with a ready-made grid system, components, and utilities. Originally created at Twitter, now an independent open-source project. Suitable for rapid prototyping and responsive websites.

A utility-first CSS framework that allows styling directly in HTML using pre-built classes. It eliminates writing custom CSS and ensures consistent design. The dominant CSS framework in modern web development.

A modern CSS framework based on Flexbox with no JavaScript dependencies whatsoever. It offers clean and readable syntax with a ready-made grid system and components. An alternative to Bootstrap with a simpler structure.

A responsive frontend framework by ZURB with an advanced grid system and accessibility features. Once the main competitor to Bootstrap for enterprise projects. Development is minimal and the community has significantly shrunk.
