Flux vs Prototype: What are the differences?
Developers describe Flux as "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. On the other hand, Prototype is detailed as "Prototype JavaScript framework". Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. It offers a familiar class-style OO framework, extensive Ajax support, higher-order programming constructs, and easy DOM manipulation.
Flux and Prototype can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Flux and Prototype are both open source tools. It seems that Flux with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Prototype with 3.41K GitHub stars and 652 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Flux has a broader approval, being mentioned in 67 company stacks & 29 developers stacks; compared to Prototype, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
