Hermes vs Modernizr: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hermes as "An open source and lightweight JavaScript engine". It is a JavaScript engine optimized for fast start up of React Native apps on Android. It features ahead-of-time static optimization and compact bytecode. On the other hand, Modernizr is detailed as "Respond to your user’s browser features". It’s a collection of superfast tests or detects as we like to call them which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.
Hermes and Modernizr can be primarily classified as "JavaScript Compilers" tools.
Hermes and Modernizr are both open source tools. It seems that Modernizr with 23.8K GitHub stars and 3.04K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hermes with 4.13K GitHub stars and 112 GitHub forks.
