Modernizr vs Blockly: What are the differences?

What is Modernizr? Respond to your user’s browser features. It’s a collection of superfast tests or detects as we like to call them which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.

What is Blockly? A library that adds a visual code editor to web and mobile apps. 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.

Modernizr and Blockly are primarily classified as "JavaScript Compilers" and "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Modernizr are:

  • Easy to deliver tiered experiences
  • Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
  • Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.

On the other hand, Blockly provides the following key features:

  • Pure JavaScript library
  • 100% client side. No server side dependencies
  • Compatible with all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE

Modernizr and Blockly are both open source tools. It seems that Modernizr with 23.9K GitHub stars and 3.04K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Blockly with 6.84K GitHub stars and 2.37K GitHub forks.

    What are some alternatives to Blockly and Modernizr?
    Swift
    Writing code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run lightning-fast. Swift is ready for your next iOS and OS X project — or for addition into your current app — because Swift code works side-by-side with Objective-C.
    jQuery
    jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
    React
    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.
    AngularJS
    AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
    Vue.js
    It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
