Draggable JS vs Nerv: What are the differences?

What is Draggable JS? A lightweight, responsive, modern drag-and-drop library (by Shopify). Draggable is a modular drag & drop library, allowing you to start small and build up with the features you need. At its most basic, Draggable gives you drag & drop functionality, fast DOM reordering, accessible markup, and a bundle of events to grab on to.

What is Nerv? A fast React alternative, compatible with IE8 and React 16. Nerv is a virtual-dom based JavaScript (TypeScript) library with identical React 16 API, which offers much higher performance, tinyer package size and better browser compatibility.

Draggable JS and Nerv can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.

Some of the features offered by Draggable JS are:

• Works with native drag, mouse, touch and force touch events
• Can extend dragging behaviour by hooking into draggables event life cycle
• Can extend drag detection by adding sensors to draggable

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

• Identical React API
• High performance
• IE8 compatibility
