winjs vs Yolk: What are the differences?
Developers describe winjs as "A UI toolkit for modern browsers, by Microsoft". WinJS is a set of JavaScript toolkits that allow developers to build applications using HTML/JS/CSS technology forged with the following principles in mind: 1. Provide developers with a distinctive set of UI controls with high polish and performance with fundamental support for touch, mouse, keyboard and accessibility 2. Provide developers with a cohesive set of components and utilities to build the scaffolding and infrastructure of their applications'. On the other hand, Yolk is detailed as "A user interface library built on RxJS and Virtual-dom". Yolk is a small library built on top of Virtual DOM and RxJS. It exposes a very limited API so that you don't have to spend weeks getting up to speed. Yolk components are just plain functions that return JSX.
winjs and Yolk belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.
winjs and Yolk are both open source tools. winjs with 4.07K GitHub stars and 504 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Yolk with 950 GitHub stars and 35 GitHub forks.
