several years, but it has a lot of catching up to do. Chat by Drift
Let’s now move on to the list of top front-end frameworks in 2020 and some of the
relatively newer ones that businesses are now preferring to use.
React
We saw the first signs of React in 2010 in the form of an open-sourced code released
by Facebook, formally introduced in 2013. The sole purpose of React was to divide UI
(User Interface) into reusable collections of components. This simplified the
development process of visual interfaces in web apps. As opposed to Angular, Tech
giants like Instagram and Facebook are using React.
React stands out because of its Virtual DOM capabilities, which make it perfect for
apps that require stable releases to cater to huge user volumes. In addition to DOM
operations already being executed, virtual DOM operations supplement the frame
drops and make React the top choice of developers.
React is Just the ‘View’ you have to choose the ‘Model’ and ‘Controller’ on your own.
While it offers flexibility, this also means the team you hire will have to keep
themselves up to date with new things and update their skill set regularly.

We’ve developed many applications using React and we’ve come to the following
conclusions. If you’re looking to make single-page web applications or Progressive
web apps, having the benefits of both native and web apps, React is the best fit for
you.
Pros
The development team have much more flexibility to choose a routing library
Updates are far easier to upscale to
Development tools are very powerful and advanced. Testing and debugging is easier
using these tools.
Cons
The learning curve is steep for beginners given that Facebook is consistently kicking
in updates. Documents and Journals are difficult for beginner’s understanding.

Angular
Angular has a framework architecture. It is best suited for single page application
because of its use of DOM. Angular is called a framework because of its helpful
design. It suggests what structure your application should have. These suggestions
are based on the huge network of projects already developed on the basis of Angular.
Unlike React, Angular is unique with its two-way data binding feature. It means there
is a real-time synchronization between the model and the view, where any change in
the model reflects instantly on the view and vice versa.

Pros
Views are pure HTML pages, while all business processing is done by controllers
written in JavaScript
By using two-way data binding, Angular it drastically decreases the amount of code.
Enhanced design architecture helps the programmer to locate and develop the code
easily
Cons
With beginners, the learning curve is steeper than React or Vue because of its
dynamic nature.
Limited SEO options and minimal accessibility for search engines which makes
crawling less efficient
Since these are two of our top choices we’ve created an in-depth comparison of
React vs Angular that you might want to read as well.
Vue.js
Ever since its release in February 2014, Vue.js has grown to be one of the most
popular front-end frameworks today. It is a progressive javascript framework used to
develop interactive web applications. A recent report suggests that the knowledge
gap is closing in and an average of 34 percent of developers want to learn vue.js.
Unlike React and Angular, you won’t find a long list of companies using it, but it is
quite popular among developers and companies for integrating and using in front-
end development.
Developers are attracted by its capability to function on top of their already
designed structure. The Vue.js team has released many libraries and tools over the
years which can easily be integrated with many projects big and small. Applications
created with Vue.js have a smaller size in comparison thus making the app’s
performance better. Finally, the documentation is pretty simple and easy. All
developers need to do is learn HTML and CSS basics, because Vue.js applies to HTML
based template patterns.
Vue focuses on the “view” part. The main objective of vue.js is to provide the benefits
of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as
simple as possible. It is not a full proper framework, rather it is designed to be a view
layer that is simple and flexible.

Pros
Two-way data binding to ensure proper connection between view and model
Extensive but simple documentation which makes the learning curve easier for
beginners
TypeScript Support
Cons
Instability in components, too much flexibility leads to irregularities in coding efforts
Backbone.js
Just like React, Backbone.js is another JavaScript library. It was developed by Jeremy
Ashkenas and released on October 13th, 2010. It is a lightweight JavaScript library
that allows developers to create applications and structure the client-side
applications that run in a web browser. Regardless of whether you choose to use this
library for front-end or backend, backbobe.js works for both as it has Rest AI
compatibility. This API provides seamless functioning and synchronization for both
front-end and backend.

Ember.js provides exceptional routing capabilities. So, if you want to develop modern
applications with a rich interface, Ember.js is the right choice for you. It provides
custom properties for rendering, two-way binding, and ready configuration for
projects ranging from mid to large ones.
We’ve been in the market for years and for the past few years we’ve seen React and
Angular as the top front-end frameworks for several years. Google and Facebook
kick-in frequent releases every now and then to keep these frameworks popular.
They have a growing developer community, willing to help and encourage new
developers to step in the field of front-end development. While these two will
probably be the front runners for upcoming years as well, we should look at some
market projects that are rapidly growing.
Flutter
Flutter has caused a storm in the mobile app development world. Google released
Flutter in May 2017. Similar solutions have been offered for native iOS and Android
mobile app development but Flutter is an independent SDK. It is not a framework for
development to be exact. It is a newer option in competition with technologies like
React Native and Xamarin.
Flutter comes compiled with ARM x86 native libraries, which make it really fast.
Flutter uses Dart as its primary programming language. It matches the way they
wanted to have their UI developed. Dart is an Object-Oriented language that is
Ahead Of Time (AOT), its compiles faster and is predictable.
Flutter has a lot of room to cover when it comes to having community-wide support.
Essentially, it is not that big of a disadvantage. Flutter is growing exponentially and
so is the audience. Flutter’s learning curve is steep for beginners. While it may be
difficult at first, once you do learn to code in Flutter things will get easier. Dart is an
easy to understand Language. Flutter being Google’s creation, comprehensive
documentation is a big focus.

Pros
Being open-source, Flutter offers great support to its developers. Experts continually
contribute code, report bugs and create fixes
Increased Time-to- Market timeline, products are out the door earlier.
Less code with Native like performance and Look and Feel
Cons
Still in developing stages, but the Flutter community is expecting consistent updates
and developments in the platforms new releases
Semantic UI
sharing UI”. You already know the difference between syntax and semantics.
They leveraged the descriptive language for the naming conventions and classes
instead of the abbreviation that we normally use. The semantics used are easier to
understand for beginners and closer to plain English. While it has many UI centered
features to offer Semantic UI still has a lot of catching up to do. It is in the watchlist
of many developers this year because of the change it has promised to bring about.

Conclusion
All in all, when discussing the top front end frameworks in 2020 there are a lot of
market options available. Developers and UI designers now have a variety of very
powerful options to choose from. Every platform discussed here has caught our eye
for a few reasons that make it special. You can make the proper choice depending on
what you think your project needs. Options like React and Angular have made an
impact so great that the community-wide support alone pulls major projects towards
them. Without a doubt, React leads in our list of top front-end frameworks in 2020
and rightfully so. If you do choose to React, it will certainly make development
operations efficient and web performance-optimized. React makes any future
maintenance a lot easier, even if you choose to hire a different development team for
maintenance.
