RE:DOM vs. Svelte

RE:DOM is a lightweight library designed for DOM manipulation, while Svelte is a comprehensive framework for app development that includes routing and transitions. Svelte allows developers to create components in individual files with an expressive syntax, handling tasks like data binding and event handling seamlessly. It requires the svelte-routing package for adding routing capabilities. Conversely, RE:DOM focuses on simplicity, enabling the creation and manipulation of DOM elements with functions like `el`, `mount`, and `setAttr`, but it lacks the expressiveness and complexity handling of Svelte. Although RE:DOM demonstrates better performance in benchmarks, the differences are minimal, and its router is less flexible compared to Svelte's. Overall, Svelte is more suitable for building full-fledged applications, while RE:DOM is best for straightforward DOM tasks.
