layerJS vs React: What are the differences?
What is layerJS? UI composition & animation in pure HTML. UX patterns like menus, sliders, layers & lightboxes, parallax effects, page-swipes, zoom effects, etc. are really just interactive animated layers. layerJS is a simple open source library that provides one simple universal concept to create such patterns in pure HTML.
What is React? A JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
layerJS and React can be categorized as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
layerJS and React are both open source tools. React with 132K GitHub stars and 24.5K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than layerJS with 1.73K GitHub stars and 75 GitHub forks.
