Svelte vs. Vue: Comparing framework internals
Blog post from LogRocket
In the ever-evolving landscape of JavaScript frameworks, Svelte is emerging as a promising contender, challenging established players like Vue. Echoing Vue's rise in popularity by focusing on performance, simplicity, and an approachable syntax, Svelte distinguishes itself by compiling components into imperative JavaScript at build time, thereby eliminating the runtime overhead associated with virtual DOM diffing techniques used by other frameworks. The article provides a comprehensive comparison between Svelte and Vue, highlighting their approaches to core concepts such as component structure, declarative rendering, data binding, computed properties, and reactivity. While Svelte offers significant performance benefits and a simpler reactivity model, its current adoption is hindered by limited community support and flexibility compared to Vue, which has matured over the years with robust support and features. However, the collaboration between Svelte's creator, Rich Harris, and Vercel holds promise for its future growth and adoption in the developer community.
