Lilia Vue.js vs React. What to choose for your business project
What is Vue.js
Vue is a web framework for developing user interfaces in the JavaScript programming language. Vue is built for gradual integration into an existing application.
It solves various tasks of the presentation layer (view), simplifies the work with other libraries and allows you to create complex single-page applications (SPA, Single-Page Applications).
Vue.js was created by former Google engineer Evan You who previously worked with Angular.js.
In fact, his plans were to take all the best from Angular and create a new more lightweight framework. And we can say that he did it in the development of Vue.js.
This is the youngest framework, but it is already confidently gaiting its popularity.
The most famous brands that use Vue.js are GitHab and Alibaba.
We agree that in comparison with React, its popularity is much less, but it also has a number of advantages that even in some cases work better than React can offer.
On this graph in Google Trends, we can see that React is indeed the leader in popularity, but Vue.js also has its place among clients requests.
And we think that the demand for this framework will continue to grow.
Benefits of using Vue. js for business projects
- Simple Integration: with Vue.js framework you can build single page apps. Vue.js also contributes components into existing apps which is possible because of great adaptability and smooth integration abilities
- High Performance: Vue.js is a lightweight framework with around 23kb of size, which compared to Angular.js (143k gzip) and React.js (43kb) and this is the main reason for its worldwide acceptance.
- Simplicity: Vue’s codes are designed to keep things simple. Basic knowledge of JS or HTML will help you understand how Vue works.
- Two Way Data Binding: two way binding of data ensures faster, precise, and bug-free web app development, which results in on-time delivery of the project
- Flexibility and Security: Vue makes it easy to set up and run code. With Vue.js, building a MVP can be much faster than any other framework.
- Vue.js is famous for its amazing stability due to its component-based flow
- Fortified HTML – helps to optimize the processing of HTML blocks using various components

To summarize, in the matters of scalability, React scores a point over Vue.js and can be regarded as the preferred option for large-scale applications.
Vue.js is better for small projects.

LiveStorm – is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy for companies to build powerful video communication strategies.
