Modernizr vs Sugar: What are the differences?

What is Modernizr? 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.

What is Sugar? A Javascript library for working with native objects. It is a Javascript library that extends native objects with helpful methods. It is designed to be intuitive, unobtrusive, and let you do more with less code.

Modernizr and Sugar are primarily classified as "JavaScript Compilers" and "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Modernizr are:

  • Easy to deliver tiered experiences
  • Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
  • Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.

On the other hand, Sugar provides the following key features:

  • A straightforward API makes it very easy to pick up and start using
  • Custom builds and modularized npm packages let you use only what you need
  • Users can define methods or use plugins to handle specialized use cases.

Modernizr and Sugar are both open source tools. Modernizr with 23.9K GitHub stars and 3.04K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Sugar with 4.24K GitHub stars and 324 GitHub forks.
