Top 3 Best Web Development frameworks: Being Most In Demand For 2021

Websites are an integral part of a business’s digital identity. 70-80% of people conduct quick online research and look for the company’s website, online reviews, and other such information before making the final buying decision.

If the complexities of website development have been intimidating you, you have landed in the right space as we are going to discuss different aspects of website development here is the blog.

When you build a website you not only look professional but also appear more genuine to the prospective buyers. 

Get Familiar With Front-End Web Development Framework

A front-end framework is responsible for what the users view on the webpage. The three main tools for developing a front-end framework are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The State of JS ranks the following five frameworks as most used in 2020.

1. ReactJS

Although it’s more like a library, developers still consider React one of the best web development frameworks. Developed by Facebook, React was the first framework that adopted a component-based architecture. Vue and Angular later adopted the same architecture. Let’s take a look at what makes the framework popular among developers.

What Makes It Popular?

1. JSX makes React not only easy to use but fun as well. Developers can write their code in JavaScript only. They can develop a new feature and see how it appears in real-time. In short, React directly brings HTML into your JavaScript.

2. Components are what makes React unique. They allow you to break down complex UI. Instead of worrying about an intricate page design, you can break it down into smaller components and start developing the same.

3. Virtual DOM helps React to know when to re-render and when to ignore certain pieces of the DOM. It increases the performance of the page. And since the UI reacts promptly to a user action, user experience enhances a lot.

4. Due to the presence of many handy tools, the task of developers becomes easier. For example, React Development tools when used as Chrome extensions lets you inspect and debug the DOM easily.

Failure Of ReactJS

• ReactJS is relatively new and primarily supported by Facebook. Hence the developer community, although rapidly growing, is still smaller in comparison to Angular.

• Constant updating of React technologies is kind of a disadvantage. It is because developers don’t get time to make any proper documentation.

• Since React covers only the UI, you will need to choose another framework for the backend.

• For new developers, JSX can be a barrier since it requires a learning curve.

2. AngularJS

Angular is considered one of the best frameworks for web development that aids in building rich single web page applications. Google developed Angular to simplify web development. The framework first came into existence in 2010, and since then, it has received several updates to keep up with time. The framework is popular amongst developers because of a robust collection of components that simplifies the art of altering and writing code.

Let’s discuss Angular’s advantages and disadvantages in detail.

What Makes It Popular?

1. Since Google supports the framework, you can be sure that it is dependable, has some detailed documentation, and will keep up with the timely updates by Google.

2. There are a lot of third-party integrations which you can add easily. Thus, allowing developers to improve the overall functionality of their website.

3. Dependency injection of Angular is highly advantageous. Creating the dependencies can consume some time, but it’s worth it if you work on a large project where the site is expected to execute several functions.

4. With an ahead-of-time compiler, Angular apps provide a faster loading time. TypeScript and HTML are compiled into JavaScript during development (before the browser loads your app).

Failure Of AngularJS

• If you are a complete beginner, even with knowledge of HTML, JS, and CSS, the learning curve of Angular can be a little steep. This is because Angular is opinionated and brings its own rules into the table when developers start using it.

• Too many versions can confuse developers regarding which version to use and what extra features it offers. Also, like all other single-page web app frameworks, Angular has limited SEO capabilities.

• Even a simple app requires a lot of boilerplate code. Complexity during installation makes new developers prefer Vue or React rather than Angular.

3. VueJS

Though Vue is a new framework, the Vue community is growing day by day. Vue is a progressive JS-based framework that you can use for building desktop and mobile apps along with web interfaces. Developed in 2013, Vue slowly ranked ahead of the other frameworks available in the market and currently ranked among the third web development frameworks.

What Makes It Popular?

1. Speaking of popular features, the first that comes to our mind is the size. With a minified jQuery library, the compressed Vue weighs around 29KB. Being a small ecosystem, you don’t have to worry at all about performance.

2. Because of its simplicity, programmers can quickly grasp it. The components are a combination of HTML and JavaScript; programmers experienced in these two languages can quickly develop large-scale templates.

3. Vue extensive documentation makes it easier to learn. With limited resources, programmers can easily handle complex operations. Also, the components are interactive and reusable. With Vuex, you can easily share the states between components.

4. Vue can easily handle 2-way data binding, thus making the code reactive. It’s better for single-page web apps since DOM changes accordingly whenever a code is changed. Thus, Vue is better for apps that require real-time updates.

5. The framework is opinionated. You can design the structure of the app any way you want. Also, having native support for TypeScript allows developers to migrate their apps from Angular to Vue easily.

Failure Of VueJS

• Although the framework is flexible, when working on a large-scale project with multiple developers, flexibility can lead to complexity, leading to more errors which can eventually raise the cost of development.

• The community is still small, and it doesn’t have that much widespread support like Angular or React. And since the framework is evolving very fast, many tutorials that you will find might be outdated.
