Top 5 Javascript Frameworks for Web and Mobile App DevelopmentAjeet Singh
Why Frontend JavaScript Frameworks?
The process of web app development starts with the idea of how the app will look on screen. So far so good. Next, these images are HTMLised by a frontend designer which is then converted by the developer into a fully working webs development page. But hey! Here is the catch.
Hence came the need to standardize the web app designing so that the backend workflow injection part can be easily coded. And going by the example of HTML and CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation, coders created JavaScript frontend frameworks to formulate web apps.
Complete JS Frameworks
There are many so called JavaScript frameworks in the market, but in reality not all are complete frameworks. That means that not every framework out there can be used to create every aspect of an app. Most of them can be categorized as a set of tools that can make your coding easier but you may have to rely on other tools as well to get the job done.
AngularJS
This is the framework that works on the concept of two-way data binding, and this was the framework that revolutionized the concept of model view controller architecture in web apps. Also, this is a comprehensive framework and reduces the need to introduce other JS libraries into the development process.
EmberJS
EmberJS is the framework for those who focus on conventions rather than configurations. EmberJS has a very robust routing framework and thus is a good candidate to go with when you have complex nested routes and templates within a page.
CanJS
CanJS is a relatively new framework so it lacks in terms of popularity. But we were greatly impressed by its ease-of-use and flexibility in our projects so I thought its prudent to include it in the list. CanJS also ranks higher than the other three in terms of performance, especially when you have to render lots of view binding.
JavaScript toolkits that can work as frameworks
KnockoutJS
KnockoutJS is a very popular toolkit among JS web app designers. It’s very lightweight, has every basic view rendering feature an app would need and it’s a perfect tool for those app projects for which you may have to develop your own framework.
BackBoneJS
BackboneJS is awesome if you want to define your templating or use jQuery-like event binding. However the framework Tool-kit is only for advanced developers and it has a steep learning curve. BackBoneJS is good at handling requests, module loading and request routing.
Conclusion
AngularJS is only stand alone framework that does not need help of any other library to work, and it is also the largest frontend JS framework out there. Ember and CanJS need support from additional libraries but are great in their own ways. BackboneJS and KnockoutJS are awesome for small app development projects or for those large app development projects in which you may have to build your own framework.
