Prepack vs videojs: What are the differences?

Developers describe Prepack as "A tool for making JavaScript code run faster (by Facebook)". Prepack is a partial evaluator for JavaScript. Prepack rewrites a JavaScript bundle, resulting in JavaScript code that executes more efficiently. For initialization-heavy code, Prepack works best in an environment where JavaScript parsing is effectively cached. On the other hand, videojs is detailed as "*Open source library for working with video *". It is an open source library for working with video on the web, also known as an HTML video player. It supports HTML5 and Flash video, as well as YouTube and Vimeo (through plugins). It supports video playback on desktops and mobile devices.

Prepack and videojs belong to "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Prepack and videojs are both open source tools. It seems that videojs with 26.1K GitHub stars and 6.13K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Prepack with 13.8K GitHub stars and 469 GitHub forks.
