Inferno vs jQuery UI: What are the differences?
Developers describe Inferno as "A fast, React-like JavaScript library for building UIs". Inferno is an isomorphic library for building high-performance user interfaces, which is crucial when targeting mobile devices. Unlike typical virtual DOM libraries like React, Mithril, Virtual-dom, Snabbdom and Om, Inferno uses techniques to separate static and dynamic content. This allows Inferno to only "diff" renders that have dynamic values. On the other hand, jQuery UI is detailed as "Curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library". Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
Inferno and jQuery UI belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.
"Faster than React" is the top reason why over 3 developers like Inferno, while over 213 developers mention "Ui components" as the leading cause for choosing jQuery UI.
Inferno and jQuery UI are both open source tools. Inferno with 13.8K GitHub stars and 636 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than jQuery UI with 10.7K GitHub stars and 5.06K GitHub forks.
