How Vue JS is Better Than the Competition

Developers have several attractive options when selecting a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. 

Here at Steadfast Collective, we believe that Vue JS is the best choice you can make from a highly competitive field. However, we are fully aware that there are many other top quality frameworks that are used by developers across the world. 

So let’s delve a little deeper into the reasons why we use Vue JS on a daily basis, as we deliver digital solutions.

Let’s explain, in our opinion, why Vue JS is better than React and Angular, two of the most prominent rivals for attention from developers in this context.

Why Vue JS is Better Than React

It’s important to emphasise that we have a great deal of respect for React, which is the most popular JavaScript framework available today. 

Indeed, there are many reasons why developers and businesses might choose to use React – its popularity means it comes with an extensive ecosystem that features free tools and other resources.

However, we believe there are several reasons why Vue JS is better than React:

• Logical design: It’s clear, it’s straightforward – and that makes it easy to use.

• Good plugins: There’s a lot of functionality built into Vue JS, and if you do need a plugin, the library is extensive and efficient.

• Faster updates: With React, you need to re-optimise each component when making a change. Vue JS tracks its components and updates happen automatically.

• Small but perfectly formed: Vue JS weighs in at about 80Kb, while React is 100Kb. That seems like a small difference, but you notice it in more efficient performance – and that 80Kb includes many additional features that have to be bolted on at React.

• Independent: The fact that React is backed by Facebook may count as a negative in some eyes. What might they collect your data for? Vue JS has no such big backer.

Why Vue JS is Better Than Angular 

Angular’s client list features several stellar names: Google, Gmail, Forbes and PayPal, to name a few. 

This is a well established and thoroughly respected framework – but Vue JS scores highly against it in the following ways:

• Simplicity: Vue JS has built-in app templates, which leads to greater flexibility. Creating apps on Angular is more complex.

• Speed: Vue JS is quicker, and one reason is that its DOM (Document Object Model) is virtual, which means only the components that have been changed need to be updated. Angular’s real DOM means your entire page will need to be rendered when you change a single component.

• Flexibility: If there is one word that sums up the appeal of Vue JS, this is it. So many ways of building applications are supported, and the simple structure and component-based approach make it extensively user-friendly.

All three of these frameworks are impressive, and closely related. Indeed, it may surprise you to learn that Vue JS was created by combining React and Angular!

However, at Steadfast Collective we have made the clear choice to work on a daily basis with Vue JS.
