NestJS vs ReactiveUI: What are the differences?
What is NestJS? A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications by @kammysliwiec. Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications. It uses progressive JavaScript, is built with TypeScript (preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript) and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming)
Under the hood, Nest makes use of Express, but also, provides compatibility with a wide range of other libraries, like e.g. Fastify, allowing for easy use of the myriad third-party plugins which are available..
What is ReactiveUI? An advanced, composable, functional reactive model-view-viewmodel framework for all .NET platforms. It is an advanced, composable, functional reactive model-view-viewmodel framework for all .NET platforms that is inspired by functional reactive programming. It allows you to abstract mutable state away from your user interfaces, express the idea around a feature in one readable place and improve the testability of your application.
NestJS and ReactiveUI belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by NestJS are:
- Extensible - Gives you true flexibility by allowing use of any other libraries thanks to modular architecture.
- Versatile - An adaptable ecosystem that is a fully-fledged backbone for all kinds of server-side applications.
- Progressive - Takes advantage of latest JavaScript features, bringing design patterns and mature solutions to node.js world.
On the other hand, ReactiveUI provides the following key features:
- Declarative
- Composable
- Cross-platform
