Flux vs Riot: 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 Riot? A React-like user interface micro-library. Riot brings custom tags to all browsers. Think React + Polymer but with enjoyable syntax and a small learning curve.

Flux and Riot 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 11 developers mention "Light weight. Fast. Clear" as the leading cause for choosing Riot.

Flux and Riot are both open source tools. It seems that Flux with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Riot with 13.7K GitHub stars and 1.02K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Flux has a broader approval, being mentioned in 67 company stacks & 29 developers stacks; compared to Riot, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.

It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
