  • redux

    A JS library for predictable global state management

    Deciding which state management library to use in a new React project can be quite a challenge – there are so many options. Obviously Redux is high on the list, however it requires a lot of boilerplate even in small apps that don’t require a lot of global state management. On the other hand, React Context is very simple, but any change to the value prop causes all the consumer’s children to rerender, even when only a small bit of the data is being used by them. You could use Mobx, but there’s a steep learning curve there, especially if you’re not quite familiar with observables.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.
