You have various options to choose from, but which one would be best suited to your project? These are five of the most popular frameworks in use today: Angular, Node, React, Ionic and Vue. This article will help you identify the features each framework offers and why you might want to choose one over another to build your next app or site.
1) Angular.JS
Angular.JS is Google’s open source framework for building complex, single-page applications. The framework is rich with features and can help you create highly interactive web apps quickly and easily. It consists of both client-side code and a server-side service (called Angular Universal) that allows your app to respond to AJAX requests without reloading your page. Angular comes with built-in support for two-way data binding, MVC architecture, end-to-end testing, scaffolding tools and much more out of the box. With so many great features, it’s no wonder why hiring Angular.JS developers has been one of the most popular frameworks since it was released in 2009.
In fact, according to a Stack Overflow survey from January 2017: 93% of developers use JS libraries on their projects today; 48% pick React; 33% select jQuery; 29% choose Angular; 26% like Vue; 14% prefer Ember.js; 12% select Backbone.; 10% use Nodejs! In total there are over 300 solutions listed! Do not limit yourself by choosing just one as there are very few task that would require only one JS library/framework!
2) React.JS
React.JS is one of a growing number of frameworks that rely on components to handle user interactions and data flow, rather than traditional views with templates. With React, you write your views as plain functions of your component’s state and props, and can then react to events (such as user clicks) by calling setState() to trigger re-rendering. That also means that React encourages a functional programming approach. And while React is meant to be used alongside other libraries (it works well with Flux/Fluxible), its documentation makes it clear that it can be used independently if desired. Its learning curve is steep, but many companies hire dedicated React developers to handle their apps’ UIs—which are usually complex enough that they don’t make sense in HTML or even require their own framework. There’s lots of demand for React developers at many levels–hiring dedicated devs isn’t necessarily required. But we think your ability to hire good JS devs will depend heavily on whether there’s a local demand for those skills in general (this Stack Overflow search seems like an obvious place to start). The same goes for hiring Angular 2 devs — Angular 2 has been out for less time than React and JS has had a lot more job opportunities posted over time so we expect less people who know how to build it from scratch yet vs.
3) Vue.JS
Vue.js is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is ready to be integrated with other libraries or tools you may already be using. On top of that, it has a unopinionated workflow and can integrate with virtually any build pipeline. Whether you prefer statically typed languages like TypeScript or dynamic languages like Babel, Vue works great without requiring significant reconfiguration when switching between them. This allows teams who prefer different technologies to work together more effectively. And when you’re ready for full-stack Vue, it plays well with others as well! All major database abstraction libraries (e.g., SQLAlchemy, Apollo/GraphQL) have good first-party support for Vue models, and many of your favorite frontend routing libraries have excellent first-party router integrations (e.g., vue-router). Of course, if you are starting fresh today, there are still excellent choices in these areas as well: vuex and vuelidate provide an elegant solution to organize stateful components; axios makes network requests simple; materialize provides attractive responsive components; while Vuetify provides a friendly UI library built on top of MaterializeCSS so that adding visual elements doesn’t require writing HTML & CSS code every time.
4) Node.JS
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications built on Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Run your application in a single process, using all cores in one machine or scale to multiple machines by clustering nodes for more performance. It was created by Ryan Dahl in 2009. At present time major companies like Walmart, Bloomberg are hiring node js developers from companies like Valuecoders. Founded by experts in web development, mobile app development.

5) Backbone.JS
Backbone is a very minimalist, non-opinionated, pure framework. Unlike with Angular and React, you don’t start off writing your code against specific pieces of Backbone. Instead, you just write Backbone.js code however you want to—it only becomes a framework once it goes through your build process. Since there are no opinions about how to do things in Backbone, there are a wide variety of ways to structure an application—it can be a little intimidating for new developers to get started when compared with more opinionated frameworks. But if you have some experience with frontend development in general, Backbone will likely be much easier to learn than something like React or Angular. If all that makes you think well maybe Backbone isn’t for me, keep reading! It turns out that many of us already use lots of small bits of Backbone every day without even realizing it—since so many big applications (like Twitter) were built on top of Backbone’s lightweight foundation over its history.
