Inferno vs Monkberry: 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, Monkberry is detailed as "Blazingly fast, small 1kb and simple JavaScript library for building web user interfaces". Why is Monkberry so fast? Even in comparison with React, Monkberry is 10 times faster, sometimes 100 times faster It's because Monkberry will do only necessary dom updates, and does it in a completely different way than React does. Monkberry compiles template to plain JavaScript to gain an advantage by using v8 hidden classes and reduce call stack..
