Monkberry vs Relay: What are the differences?

Developers describe Monkberry 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.. On the other hand, Relay is detailed as "A JavaScript Framework for Building Data-Driven React Applications, by Facebook". Never again communicate with your data store using an imperative API. Simply declare your data requirements using GraphQL and let Relay figure out how and when to fetch your data.

Monkberry and Relay can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.

Some of the features offered by Monkberry are:

• Small 1kb minified & gzipped
• Simple, small learning curve
• Fully tested

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

• Build data driven apps
• Declarative style
• Mutate data on the client and server
