Exploring Frontend Frameworks' Internals – Part 1: The basic structure of Frontend frameworks + Vue 3’s reactivity

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • Virtual DOM Renderer/Reconciler: This unit is in charge of invoking the render functions and managing the virtual DOM tree (e.g. "reacting" to state changes and updating the virtual DOM accordingly). React calls this component the reconciler (the source code is here), while Vue calls it the runtime renderer. It is called the reconciler because one of its main job is to perform Virtual DOM "diffing", or "reconciliation".

  • react-native

    A framework for building native applications using React

  • React Reconciler's examples of building a custom renderer (React Native and React Three Fiber are two really great custom renderer examples).

  • 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. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • core

    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

React calls this component the reconciler (the source code is here), while Vue calls it the runtime renderer.

  • react-three-fiber

    🇨🇭 A React renderer for Three.js

  • React Reconciler's examples of building a custom renderer (React Native and React Three Fiber are two really great custom renderer examples).

  • mobx-jsx

    Raw MobX performance without being restrained by a Virtual DOM

  • mobx-jsx is using MobX as the reactivity system together with Solid's DOM renderer.

  • MobX

    Simple, scalable state management.

  • mobx-jsx is using MobX as the reactivity system together with Solid's DOM renderer.

  • dom-expressions

    A Fine-Grained Runtime for Performant DOM Rendering

  • vuerx-jsx is using Vue's reactivity system (@vue/reactivity) with Solid's DOM renderer. Both offer blazingly fast performance, (much) faster than their original usage.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
