JavaScript is a high-level programming language that is used in building interactive and multimedia content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JS is commonly used in the development of professional web pages, both on front-end and back-end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, it\u2019s become so pervasive that it is literally everywhere now: web applications, server applications, server side, mobile apps and even games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JavaScript frameworks<\/strong>, instead, are <strong>collections of different JavaScript code libraries<\/strong> that are compiled together to make it easy for a developer to refer to and use the scripts. In simple words, frameworks (FM, F\/M, FRWK, FWK) are pre-built groups of codes that are put together to make development easy and hassle-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRWKs are easily adaptable too and as a result, a lot of developers prefer to use these when they create websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/JavaScript-Frameworks-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Image of several JavaScript framework logos.

However, the development will not be as easy and as problem-free as with FWs. Auto-completion and quality control of your code make the coding process a lot easier, even for experienced programmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-makes-frameworks-different-from-libraries\">What makes frameworks different from libraries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both JavaScript Frwksand <strong>libraries <\/strong>comprise a group of codes that you can use to build something or solve a problem. The fundamental difference between these two is how you build the structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inversion-of-control\">Inversion of control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use a library, you are in control. You can call for the library wherever you feel like. When you use a FWK though, it sets the basement. The Frwk clearly mentions where all codes are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you are in charge when you use a JavaScript library. When you use frameworks, the framework usually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jquery-and-javascript-libraries\">jQuery and JavaScript libraries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jquery.jpg\" alt=\"JQuery logo\" class=\"wp-image-15439\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jquery.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jquery-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jquery-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>jQuery <\/strong>is one of the most popular JavaScript libraries that remains popular to date. With jQuery, you can compile together multiple lines of code and convert them into single code lines that are easier to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wonder that top tech brands like <em>Google, Netflix, and IBM<\/em> on the web still use jQuery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>jQuery contains the following elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CSS manipulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HTML \/ DOM manipulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AJAX<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Utilities<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HTML event methods<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Effects and animation<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2019, it is estimated that <a href=\"https:\/\/w3techs.com\/technologies\/overview\/javascript_library\">73% of the top 10 million websites use jQuery<\/a>. This JS library is used up to four times more frequently than other common JavaScript libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>jQuery supports a lot of common browsers including Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Android, and iOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>two functionalities<\/strong> commonly performed by jQuery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static utility functions&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Object methods<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-js-framework-should-you-choose-for-your-project\">Which JS framework should you choose for your project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this is a very common question JavaScript developers have when they decide to pick up a F\/W to build a website or a web application. Since there are many FMs available, one cannot clearly say this is good, and that is not. It all depends on your requirement and the below four factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose the one that your team knows and is comfortable with<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the prime consideration when you choose JS F\/M. It might be absolutely stunning, but if your team has no idea how to work on it, it will not be of any use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three of the most common FRWKs that most developers are familiar with are <em>Angular, Vue, and React<\/em>. These can be tweaked to match most requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If most of your team members have not used a particular FWK, it makes sense to avoid it, as it is going to take time to learn the nuances of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose the one that\u2019s most compatible with your backend<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What is your back-end team working with? If the backend team works on <em>Java<\/em>, then make sure you pick a FW that closely matches and is compatible with Java. In this case, Angular framework matches closely to Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the back-end and the front-end developers work on completely different languages, then coordinating is going to be a major challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose one with the right size and performance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some FWKs may be super advanced in their features, but may get really <em>heavy to implement.<\/em> If the app or the website you build is very complicated with lots of layers, then it makes sense to invest in a large JavaScript frwk. However, if you are building a simpler system, then pick up smaller F\/Ms like Vue and React.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you develop a balance between performance and FM size to get the best efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose one with the right level of complexity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some developers work on really complex apps and websites that come with hundreds of <em>sub-pages, functionalities, and features<\/em>. In such a case, pick up F\/Ms like Angular that can handle complexities like a pro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking up a lighter F\/M and trying to build a complex app is going to cause multiple problems in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-your-team-doesn-t-know-a-framework-how-long-will-it-take-to-learn-it\">If your team doesn\u2019t know a framework, how long will it take to learn it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a simple question to answer. There are many features that influence it. To start with, a senior developer can learn a new FRWK much faster than a beginner or a junior developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, lighter and simpler FMs can be learned faster than advanced and more complex ones. Complex ones like Angular may need more than a month of learning to get familiar with. Simpler ones like Vue can be learned in less than a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-easy-is-it-to-switch-to-a-different-javascript-framework\">How easy is it to switch to a different JavaScript framework?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the initial stages of building an app or a website, changing from one to another may be easy. However, if you are halfway through and have spent weeks developing in a particular one, then changing from one to another one is going to be tiresome and time-consuming. You may have to rewrite everything from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do this is to <strong>run two applications in two different FWKs<\/strong>side by side and slowly convert one to another. This is possible but is definitely time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hence better to do your research and pick a FWK before you start developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[jwp-video n=&#8221;1&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-popular-front-end-javascript-frameworks\">Popular front-end JavaScript frameworks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a list we have crafted to help understand which JavaScript Frwk to choose.

This is a tool that we can use to create advanced web apps with ease and in the shortest time possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, both back-end and front-end developers need to know at least a handful of these FMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can still create web apps without F\/Ms, it is going to take more time and effort to do so. The chances of coding problems are also high this way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are predictable and easy to use. They quicken the development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-many-javascript-frameworks-should-a-web-developer-know-how-to-use\">How many JavaScript frameworks should a web developer know how to use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a budding developer, learning and working on just one FRWK is not going to help with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/dev-hub\/backend-dev\/design-your-developer-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">career<\/a> growth.

If you use a random FWK, chances are you are going to get stuck halfway through and may need to start from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by having a brainstorming session and identifying the needs of your team. What kind of features will you require and how scalable should the work be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analyse the pros and cons and the features of each of the above-mentioned FMs and then choose one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-time-can-using-a-javascript-framework-save\">How much time can using a JavaScript framework save?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you learn a JavaScript F\/M well, it can speed up your work 3-5 times over. This is something all experienced developers agree upon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from saving time in the development process, these also bring down the risk of errors and bugs and encourage other developers to work on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-is-the-best-framework-for-javascript\">Which is the best framework for JavaScript?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one FWK that is considered best for JavaScript.
