Polymer vs Basscss: What are the differences?

Developers describe Polymer as "A new library built on top of Web Components, designed to leverage the evolving web platform on modern browsers". Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently only available in JS libraries. Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including Shadow DOM, Custom Elements and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as polyfills or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform code that drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds. On the other hand, Basscss is detailed as "Low-level CSS toolkit". It is a lightweight collection of base element styles and immutable utilities designed for speed, clarity, performance, and scalability.

Polymer and Basscss belong to "Front-End Frameworks" category of the tech stack.

Polymer is an open source tool with 21.1K GitHub stars and 2.01K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Polymer's open source repository on GitHub.
