cell vs Vue.js: What are the differences?
cell: A self-driving web app framework. cell is a self-constructing web app framework powered by a self-driving DOM. Learning cell is mostly about understanding how cell works, and not about how to use and memorize some API methods, because there is no API; Vue.js: Reactive Components for Modern Web Interfaces. Vue.js is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
cell and Vue.js can be categorized as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Some of the features offered by cell are:
- Self contained - each element is its own universe (context) with its own variables and functions
- Self driving - each element communicates with outside world via stateless function calls. This means each cell can survive on its own and plug into anything with zero overhead/footprint.
- No API - cell is all about how you structure your logic and not about learning how to use some proprietary API.
On the other hand, Vue.js provides the following key features:
- Reactivity
- Components
- Modularity
cell and Vue.js are both open source tools. It seems that Vue.js with 143K GitHub stars and 20.7K forks on GitHub has more adoption than cell with 1.55K GitHub stars and 103 GitHub forks.
