Top 19 JavaScript virtual-dom Projects

  • Preact

    ⚛️ Fast 3kB React alternative with the same modern API. Components & Virtual DOM.

    Project mention: How are folks feeling about the React team's push toward server components? | reddit.com/r/reactjs | 2023-05-18

    Is Preact in that general vein? I've never used it, I only know it's "lightweight React."

  • Mithril.js

    A JavaScript Framework for Building Brilliant Applications

    Project mention: Am I missing something with React? | reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs | 2023-02-17

    On the other hand, if your app does need to update live but you want to keep things a bit closer to the metal than React, I highly recommend Mithril. It is a great everything-you-need-nothing-you-don't framework with a similar design philosophy to React but a much smaller and easier to learn API. I think Preact falls into a similar category though I have not used it personally.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • htm

    Hyperscript Tagged Markup: JSX alternative using standard tagged templates, with compiler support.

    Project mention: Anyone using React from just a CDN, barbarian style? | reddit.com/r/reactjs | 2023-02-28

    If you're going to do a no-build approach, assume modern JS (so you don't have to transpile the JS syntax). Also, you can use https://github.com/developit/htm as a nearly-identical equivalent to JSX syntax, also without transpiling.

  • neo

    The application worker driven frontend framework (by neomjs)

    Project mention: I scraped +650K frontend jobs for 14 months and here are the Most Demanded Javascript Frontend Frameworks in this 2022 (From October 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022) | reddit.com/r/javascript | 2023-01-18

    I'm hoping maybe the guy behind Neo.js and the Vue team can collab to put out an even faster framework that does more with the canvas as opposed to direct dom manipulations. As far as I can tell webGPU & wasm will reshape how things are done in the frontend and it may make sense to just render everything inside of a canvas.

  • hyperx

    🏷 - tagged template string virtual dom builder

  • diffhtml

    diffHTML is a web framework that helps you build applications and other interactive content

  • vhtml

    Render JSX/Hyperscript to HTML strings, without VDOM 🌈

    Project mention: What are the most popular view engines for express.js today? | reddit.com/r/node | 2022-08-06

    I just wonder if there's a significant performance impact, but as you said preact or even something simpler that supports JSX, like https://github.com/developit/vhtml could be used to speed it up

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • mikado

    Mikado is the webs fastest template library for building user interfaces.

    Project mention: Alpine.js | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-13

    Yet another JS framework. How fast is it really? The learning curve may not be worth it if it's slower than https://www.solidjs.com/ and according to https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht... few things are faster than a very little-known framework called Mikado (https://github.com/nextapps-de/mikado). That being said, I would never sacrifice performance of my software for how trendy or popular something is, e.g. React is #1 in popularity yet it's overcomplicated, massive, slow as hell.
