Top 5 JavaScript Frameworks in 2017

Among all the web frameworks, JavaScript continues to be at the top. Recently, it was also included in the list of best programming languages to learn by IBM. At this stage, JavaScript is used for both server- and client-sides to design amazing interfaces, enrichment web-apps with multiple functions and features, real time modification of web pages, and much more.
While in 2016, we have noticed great changes, as entire upgrade of AngularJS, launching of Angular 2.0, evolution of ECMAScript, highly grown application of jQuery, that was applied to over 96% of websites, and much more, the year 2017 has got more in its plate.
It is anticipated that three more frameworks such as, the Angular 4.0, ES2017 and Bootstrap V4 are on the way.

Benefits of JavaScript
As mentioned earlier JavaScript is constantly taking over the web market, it is noteworthy to know about the benefits of JavaScript. It is not just easy to use but also cost effective, safe and highly efficient. Here are the benefits:

Efficiency and Relatively Faster: Gone are the days when high-end projects used to take several months and hundreds of lines of codes can be now executed in very few lines. The new JavaScript is now much faster and also contains well-structured prebuilt patterns, functions and utilities.

Cost: Most of the frameworks are open source and available for free. Since they help the programmers in building custom solutions quicker than ever, the price of web applications ultimately come down.

Safety: The top JavaScript frameworks consist strong security features which have an added support from large communities where both the users and members act as testers.

Client-side Execution: This means the code is executed on the client's processor instead of a web server. This saves a lot of bandwidth on the web server.

Top JavaScript frameworks
Let's discuss the top 5 in the list of JavaScript framework that are going to breakthrough in 2017:

  1. Angular.JS
  2. In 2016, the AngularJS had hit the market after a long wait. As soon as it entered the market, it gained a very quick popularity. Currently it is regarded as the most used JS framework for Single Page Applications (SPAs) development and it also takes pride in having the largest community of developers. AngularJS is also known as an MVW(Model-View-Whatever) framework. The most common benefits for startups and mid-sized companies include easy app testing, two-way data binding and quick code production. [According to the two-way data binding feature, any changes which are made in the back-end will be immediately reflected in the UI.] The new version, AngularJS 2.0, has loads of features that could help in building almost everything starting from web to desktop and mobile apps. Both the versions are designed for enterprise-based applications or strict programming environments with excellent base for code readability.
  3. React.JS
  4. ReactJS is more of a library than a JavaScript framework. Its popularity can be stated by Facebook and Instagram, which proves the fact that it can handle high-traffic applications. It is one of the fastest growing JS framework with about 1000 contributors on Github. It has two great features due to which it gains the upper hand above Angular.JS: it has a virtual DOM that gives a great performance boost in comparison to Angular 1.0, and its components can be created and reused among other applications.
  5. Vue.JS
  6. Vue 2.0 is said to be faster than React and Angular 2.0. Introduced in 2016, Vue.JS proved to be the a great choice for development of cross-platform solutions. It could also make for a firm base for high-profile single page applications (SPAs) and provide beneficial solutions to the cases involved in them. The most attractive features of Vue.JS is, it offers a two-way data binding, Vue-cli, server-side rendering and optional JSX support.
  7. Ember.JS
  8. Ember was considered the best JavaScript framework for web/online applications back in 2015. Today it has a huge online community that provides regular updates and wide appliance of best practices involved in JavaScript. Like Vue.JS and Angular.JS, Ember also features two-way binding, where both view and model are taken into consideration simultaneously. Top users of Ember are Nordstrom, Chipotle, Blue Apron, NetFlix, LinkedIn, KickStarter and so on. Last but not the least, it has an ocean of learning resources available online for any level of user.
  9. Meteor.JS
  10. Meteor is a boon for back-end developers as it comes preloaded with tons of features. The best of them include front-end rendering, business logic and database management. Its ecosystem has shown a significant growth right after its release in 2012. This full stack platform enables fast end-to-end mobile and web development in JavaScript. MeteorJS covers all the phases of software development and also takes care of all the high-end processes like file concatenation, linking and so on. Companies like IKEA, Mazda, Honeywell and other are using it currently for real-time application development.

Choosing the right JavaScript framework is not just about the features and utilities that each of them can offer. It also depends upon the project requirement, goals of the company, general framework capability and its application in particular case. Choose wisely!
