Million: Build apps with JSX faster than React and Preact
Blog post from LogRocket
React, a leading frontend web framework, faces challenges such as large bundle sizes and intensive virtual DOM processing, which can affect app performance. Efforts to address these issues have led to alternatives like Preact, which offers a smaller library size and faster virtual DOM by leveraging web standards and HTM tagged template literals. Innovations such as Svelte, Solid, and Million aim to enhance speed and reduce bundle sizes further by eliminating the need to ship the framework to the browser, focusing on compiling applications to standard web code. Svelte and Solid offer unique features and have garnered support from companies like Vercel and Netlify, respectively. Meanwhile, Million provides a lightweight virtual DOM similar to Preact but with additional compilation benefits, enabling a React-like development experience with a reduced footprint. These developments highlight ongoing innovation in the frontend framework landscape, promising more efficient and lightweight solutions for web development.
