Flux vs Fluxxor: What are the differences?
Flux: Application Architecture for Building User Interfaces. Flux is the application architecture that Facebook uses for building client-side web applications. It complements React's composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. It's more of a pattern rather than a formal framework, and you can start using Flux immediately without a lot of new code; Fluxxor: Set of tools to aid in developing React applications with the Flux architecture. Fluxxor is a set of tools to facilitate building JavaScript data layers using the Flux architecture by reifying many of the core Flux concepts. It works particularly well in conjunction with React as the view layer, and contains a few helpers to make integration with React applications easier.
Flux can be classified as a tool in the "Javascript UI Libraries" category, while Fluxxor is grouped under "Front-End Frameworks".
Flux is an open source tool with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Flux's open source repository on GitHub.
