Polymer vs SwiftWebUI: What are the differences?

What is Polymer? A new library built on top of Web Components, designed to leverage the evolving web platform on modern browsers. Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently only available in JS libraries. Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including Shadow DOM, Custom Elements and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as polyfills or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform code that drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds.

What is SwiftWebUI? SwiftUI for the Web. It allows you to write SwiftUI Views which display in a web browser. It doesn’t just render SwiftUI Views as HTML. It also sets up a connection between the browser and the code hosted in the Swift server, allowing for interaction - buttons, pickers, steppers, lists, navigation, you get it all.

Polymer and SwiftWebUI belong to "Front-End Frameworks" category of the tech stack.

Polymer and SwiftWebUI are both open source tools. Polymer with 21.1K GitHub stars and 2.01K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than SwiftWebUI with 2.2K GitHub stars and 43 GitHub forks.

          What are some alternatives to Polymer and SwiftWebUI?
          React
          Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
          Angular
          It is a TypeScript-based open-source web application framework. It is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications.
          Bootstrap
          Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
          Material Design for Angular
          Material Design is a specification for a unified system of visual, motion, and interaction design that adapts across different devices. Our goal is to deliver a lean, lightweight set of AngularJS-native UI elements that implement the material design system for use in Angular SPAs.
          Animate.css
          It is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.
