Flutter vs NativeScript-Vue: What are the differences?
Flutter: Cross-platform mobile framework from Google. Flutter is a mobile app SDK to help developers and designers build modern mobile apps for iOS and Android; NativeScript-Vue: Truly native apps using Vue.js and NativeScript. It is a NativeScript plugin which allows you to use Vue.js to craft your mobile application. It aims to have a syntax that you are used to from Vue.js.
Flutter and NativeScript-Vue can be primarily classified as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.
Some of the features offered by Flutter are:
- Fast development - Flutter's "hot reload" helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bug faster. Experience sub-second reload times, without losing state, on emulators, simulators, and hardware for iOS and Android.
- Expressive UIs - Delight your users with Flutter's built-in beautiful Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-flavor) widgets, rich motion APIs, smooth natural scrolling, and platform awareness.
- Access native features and SDKs - Make your app come to life with platform APIs, 3rd party SDKs, and native code. Flutter lets you reuse your existing Java, Swift, and ObjC code, and access native features and SDKs on iOS and Android.
On the other hand, NativeScript-Vue provides the following key features:
- Easy to get started with, it is a single dependency that you can install through npm
- Aims to have a syntax that you are used to from Vue.js
- Rapid workflow
