What is Vue.js and what can you use this framework for?

Vue.js is a framework (or, to put it another way, a library) based on JavaScript that is used to build user interfaces. In fact, this framework is based on as many as three technologies:

• standard HTML,
• CSS,
• JavaScript.

As a result, Vue.js works perfectly in the web environment and can be successfully used to create even advanced web applications. Vue.js is a great front-end development tool also because it allows you to easily integrate the created software with other, already existing projects. Two key features of this framework are, firstly, the so-called declarative rendering (this means that Vue extends the capabilities of standard HTML and allows you to declaratively describe the result of HTML based on the state of JavaScript), and secondly, responsiveness (Vue.js is a dynamic framework that automatically tracks changes in the state of JavaScript and updates itself when such changes occur).

Vue.js framework – advantages

As we have already mentioned, Vue.js is highly valued by developers. Why? First of all, a large community of developers is gathered around this framework, who are constantly working on improving this technology. In addition, the available documentation is comprehensive and understandable. Many people claim that – among other reasons – Vue.js is easy to learn even by a person with little programming experience. Secondly, Vue.js is versatile – it can be used, for example, to create SPA applications, but also other web projects. Thirdly, Vue.js has an open-source license, which means that without any restrictions it can be used for many projects, including commercial ones. And finally, it is worth mentioning one more benefit of working with this framework – efficiency. Thanks to its well-thought-out structure, Vue.js works fast and efficiently, which will definitely be appreciated by people working on complex projects.

What is Vue.js used for?

Firstly, Vue.js will be perfect if you want to expand your current application with new solutions – all because of its easy integration with other technologies. Secondly, Vue.js is a good choice for lightweight and simple applications – in their case, it is even possible to create an entire project just using this framework. And the third issue is layouts – Vue.js allows you to create beautiful and intuitive interfaces, which are appreciated by modern demanding users.

A little bit of trouble can be caused by this framework when it comes to creating complex projects that many people work on. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of possibilities to implement this framework and when many people with different experience and habits work together, there is a chance that bugs will appear in the final project that will hinder its proper functioning.

Vue.js a inne frameworki

Of course, Vue.js is not the only front-end framework you can use. How does it stack up against the others? The first alternative is Angular. This framework is mainly designed for “big” projects, i.e. more complex applications. The second option is React. This framework, in turn, is recommended for more experienced developers. However, Vue.js will be better for those with less experience and for slightly simpler projects. Then there is Next.js and here it is difficult to give a simple verdict. Both frameworks will work well in most cases. In fact, everything depends on the preferences of a given programmer. It is also worth mentioning at this point that Angular and React are projects supported by giants of the IT world – Google and Facebook. This undoubtedly affects their greater popularity, but at the same time does not prejudge that they will always be better solutions.
