Markdown vs Vuetify: What are the differences?
Developers describe Markdown as "Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber". Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. On the other hand, Vuetify is detailed as "Material Component Framework for VueJS 2". Vuetify is a component framework for Vue.js 2. It aims to provide clean, semantic and reusable components that make building your application a breeze. Vuetify utilizes Google's Material Design design pattern, taking cues from other popular frameworks such as Materialize.css, Material Design Lite, Semantic UI and Bootstrap 4.
Markdown can be classified as a tool in the "Languages" category, while Vuetify is grouped under "Front-End Frameworks".
"Easy formatting" is the top reason why over 345 developers like Markdown, while over 8 developers mention "Wide range of components and active development" as the leading cause for choosing Vuetify.
Vuetify is an open source tool with 20K GitHub stars and 2.32K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Vuetify's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Markdown has a broader approval, being mentioned in 756 company stacks & 718 developers stacks; compared to Vuetify, which is listed in 37 company stacks and 36 developer stacks.
