There are many technologies you can use for web development.  First of all, remember that there is back-end development, which is the part that is not visible to everyone (client and user). And there is the front-end development that we will talk about in this article which is the design of the graphical user interface.

How will you choose the right front-end technology for your project?

We have made a comparison of the 3 best known front-end frameworks of the moment and in which our agency is expert.

The advantages and disadvantages of each :
 

ReactJS :

It is a JavaScript library created by Facebook used to build large web applications where data can change on a regular basis.

ITS ADVANTAGES :

  • It is easy to learn because it has a simple syntax to learn
  • It's a very flexible and responsive framework.
  • It uses a virtual DOM (programming concept)
  • It can easily work with a high load because it is combined with ES6/7
  • It's an open source JavaScript library that can be easily manipulated by developers because it's a known language
  • Upgrading is very easy and Google also automates a large part of the migration process.

ITS DISADVANTAGES:

  • There's a lack of official documentation from React Native.
  • developers can have too many choices sometimes so they consider the framework to be "unopinionated".
  • ReactJs is also very long to master and therefore requires a deep knowledge of it to successfully integrate the user interface into the MVC framework.


AngularJS :

It's also a JavaScript framework but it's component oriented which leads it to be very used to build very interactive web applications.

ITS ADVANTAGES:

  • unlike ReactJs, Angular has extensive and detailed documentation
  • a bidirectional data link is established in order to minimize the risk of errors
  • it constantly offers new and improved features
  • it uses the Model-View-View-Model (MVVM) allowing several developers to work separately on the same section of the application and using the same set of data

ITS DISADVANTAGES:

  • there are many problems with migrations from older to newer versions
  • The syntax of the first version of Angular is very complex.


Vue.js:

It is also a JavaScript framework that has the particularity to create highly adaptable user interfaces and to create complex single-pages.

ITS ADVANTAGES:

  • This framework has similar features with its competitor Angular especially on the management of HTML blocks and their optimization with the use of various components.
  • It also has detailed documentation.
  • It is seen as highly adaptable by providing a fast transition period from another framework to this one.
  • It can develop large, reusable templates by making them without additional time.
  • It is also small (about 20 KB) and keeps its speed and flexibility to achieve better performance than other frameworks.

ITS DISADVANTAGES:

  • a great lack of resources can be perceived.
  • In some documentation, the elements are written in Chinese because the technology has a Chinese history. Today, however, more and more materials are being translated into English.
