Preact vs VueStrap: What are the differences?
Developers describe Preact as "A fast 3k React alternative". Preact is an attempt to recreate the core value proposition of React (or similar libraries like Mithril) using as little code as possible, with first-class support for ES2015. Currently the library is around 3kb (minified & gzipped). On the other hand, VueStrap is detailed as "Bootstrap components built with Vue.js". Bootstrap components built with Vue.js.
Preact and VueStrap belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.
Preact and VueStrap are both open source tools. Preact with 23.1K GitHub stars and 1.2K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than VueStrap with 4.83K GitHub stars and 1K GitHub forks.
Preact offers an API which is extremely similar to React's for less than 10% of its size (and createElement
is renamed to h
, which makes the overall bundle a lot smaller). Although it is less compatible with other libraries than the latter (and its ecosystem is nowhere as developed), this is generally not a problem as Preact exposes the preact/compat
API, which can be used as an alias both for React and ReactDOM and allows for the use of libraries which would otherwise just be compatible with React.
