Top 23 JavaScript MVC Frameworks and Library Projects
-
Vue.js
🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web.
Disclaimer: This post comes from my own experience after evaluating the most important aspects of the conference, there were remarkable talks about React, Angular, Vue and others, this includes no code at all, I'd rather mention some other aspects, more soft-skills-driven instead, though any contribution is more than welcome in the threads below!
-
Next.js is a React framework that provides a lot of useful features out of the box. One of these powerful features is API routes, which allows you to make an API/backend entirely within your Next.js application.

Looks like last update it seen on Aug 2021. Last I time I actually seen it was maybe 3 years ago at a previous job.

GitHub stars: 42539 (github.com)

Preact is a "Fast 3kB alternative to React with the same modern API". It's smaller than React but shares most of it's features (Hooks, Context), so you can write normal React code but benefit from better performance.
-
Backbone - A JavaScript library with a RESTful JSON interface and is based on the MVC application design paradigm.
-
Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

If you want a batteries included framework, take a look at ember. [1]
It tries to manage a lot automatically via the ember-data module (which also makes queries automatically, e.g. left/right joins etc) so it shines with predefined rules and constraints, lots of former rails people seem to contribute to it these days.

Project mention: Popular 'coa' NPM library hijacked to steal user passwords | reddit.com/r/javascript | 2021-11-05
Personally, I try my best to avoid bringing in dependencies as much as possible, and try to limit my exposure to only dependencies with low/shallow transitive dependency counts. Unfortunately, this is pretty hard, especially in corporate settings. What we need more of are the opposite of what we've been collectively praising: we need more monolithic packages. Case in point: lodash.template is currently vulnerable with no mitigation, even though lodash itself is not. That's just sloppy publishing practices. Esbuild is a great start over the webpack/babel maze of dependencies. There's a stdlib effort along those lines that hopefully would also help. There's a bunch of micro-frameworks that are used in production just fine and have little to no dependencies.

Some might argue that React’s relatively poor performance (it’s still plenty-fast for many apps) is due to Virtual DOM and prioritization of development experience, i.e., clarity over complexity. To counter the first argument - there’s React-like Inferno. For the second one - there’s Solid.

GrapesJS
Free and Open source Web Builder Framework. Next generation tool for building templates without coding
Project mention: Moving from Webflow, which platform should I use? | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2021-11-29 -
how about getting a hold of your sanity and allowing yourself a few hours to learn https://riot.js.org/ - almost no learning curve, only pure awesomeness. even if you won't use it in the enterprise (because policies, bla bla), it is still worth knowing things can be done differently - in a good way.

Reactor is based on the same reactive principles as Bacon.js and Knockout.js.

Project mention: developing a (limited) visual programming language | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2021-11-22
By what you described, the closest existing library according to what you need is Blockly (by Google), where you can create custom blocks, structure the "flow" of your script visually with the building blocks you pre-configured and then have the output in any supported language (JavaScript, Python...)

Project mention: I noticed Choo hasn't had a commit for over a year. The other projects are being worked on by Choojs. Was it that they were happy with the state of Choo? | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2021-08-20

derby
MVC framework making it easy to write realtime, collaborative applications that run in both Node.js and browsers
Project mention: Reactive Clojure: You don't need a web framework, you need a web language | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-09-23one that sort of fell by the wayside when Meteor and Ember got popular, was/is Derby.js/ShareDB. https://github.com/derbyjs/derby https://derbyjs.com/ https://github.com/share/sharedb
The LiveView lead resurgence in server side rendering is exciting. Does anyone have any insight as to why ShareDB never really took off?
