Flux vs RefluxJS: What are the differences?

What is 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.

What is RefluxJS? A simple library for uni-directional dataflow application architecture inspired by ReactJS Flux. The goal of the refluxjs project is to get this architecture easily up and running in your web application, both client-side or server-side.

Flux and RefluxJS belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.

"Unidirectional data flow" is the top reason why over 43 developers like Flux, while over 4 developers mention "Easy to understand" as the leading cause for choosing RefluxJS.

Flux and RefluxJS are both open source tools. It seems that Flux with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K forks on GitHub has more adoption than RefluxJS with 5.43K GitHub stars and 352 GitHub forks.
