JavaScript Frameworks, Performance Comparison

The ultimate performance battle between JavaScript frameworks

I thought it would be fun to use Stefan Krause’s benchmark tool to, only for the sake of competition, do some performance comparison between the most well-known front-end frameworks and UI libraries.

Disclaimer: You can use this article as a reference, but you must always run your own benchmarks and make decisions based on your project requirements. You may also want to look at other benchmarks like the real-world apps benchmarks. Also, be sure to check out Stefan’s latest report on his blog and his latest benchmark results.

Before reading the rest of the article, I would like you to keep something in mind. The majority of the UI libraries and frameworks out there are all fast and efficient enough. However, projects like Svelte stand out for me because of their approach and philosophy, for which I personally think they deserve more attention.

Now, with all that out of the way, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the show!

All the benchmarks were executed on my MacBook Pro, with the following specs:

• MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
• Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
