RactiveJS vs Smarty: What are the differences?
What is RactiveJS? Next-generation DOM manipulation. Ractive was originally created at theguardian.com to produce news applications. Ractive takes your Mustache templates and transforms them into a lightweight representation of the DOM – then when your data changes, it intelligently updates the real DOM.
What is Smarty? Template engine for PHP. Facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. This implies that PHP code is application logic, and is separated from the presentation.
RactiveJS and Smarty can be categorized as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
RactiveJS is an open source tool with 5.68K GitHub stars and 440 GitHub forks. Here's a link to RactiveJS's open source repository on GitHub.
