axios vs Immutable.js: What are the differences?

What is axios? Promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. It is a Javascript library used to make http requests from node.js or XMLHttpRequests from the browser and it supports the Promise API that is native to JS ES6.

What is Immutable.js? Immutable persistent data collections for Javascript which increase efficiency and simplicity, by Facebook. Immutable provides Persistent Immutable List, Stack, Map, OrderedMap, Set, OrderedSet and Record. They are highly efficient on modern JavaScript VMs by using structural sharing via hash maps tries and vector tries as popularized by Clojure and Scala, minimizing the need to copy or cache data.

axios and Immutable.js can be primarily classified as "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools.

axios and Immutable.js are both open source tools. axios with 62.9K GitHub stars and 5.21K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Immutable.js with 28K GitHub stars and 1.62K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Immutable.js has a broader approval, being mentioned in 30 company stacks & 63 developers stacks; compared to axios, which is listed in 13 company stacks and 28 developer stacks.

What are some alternatives to Immutable.js, axios?

Underscore

A JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.

Deno

It is a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript built with V8, Rust, and Tokio.

Chart.js

Visualize your data in 6 different ways. Each of them animated, with a load of customisation options and interactivity extensions.

Lodash

A JavaScript utility library delivering consistency, modularity, performance, & extras. It provides utility functions for common programming tasks using the functional programming paradigm.

Ramda

It emphasizes a purer functional style. Immutability and side-effect free functions are at the heart of its design philosophy. This can help you get the job done with simple, elegant code.

Vue CLI

Vue CLI aims to be the standard tooling baseline for the Vue ecosystem. It ensures the various build tools work smoothly together with sensible defaults so you can focus on writing your app instead of spending days wrangling with config.

Luxon

It is a library that makes it easier to work with dates and times in Javascript. If you want, add and subtract them, format and parse them, ask them hard questions, and so on, it provides a much easier and comprehensive interface than the native types it wraps.

Prepack

Prepack is a partial evaluator for JavaScript. Prepack rewrites a JavaScript bundle, resulting in JavaScript code that executes more efficiently. For initialization-heavy code, Prepack works best in an environment where JavaScript parsing is effectively cached.

Blockly

It is a client-side library for the programming language JavaScript for creating block-based visual programming languages and editors. It is a project of Google and is free and open-source software.

Cesium

it is used to create the leading web-based globe and map for visualizing dynamic data. We strive for the best possible performance, precision, visual quality, ease of use, platform support, and content.
