6 popular Javascript Frameworks
Apr28Difficulty: 




Javascript frameworks are for easing development and dynamic web apps.
These toolkits enables you to deal with Ajax calls in an easy and fun way and it’s also cross browser safe.
It can be handy, if you know already something about JSON:
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write and it is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition – December 1999.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
It’s a personal choice which of the Javascript Frameworks you should choose.
Basically they are all more or less providing you the same functionality, and they all
contain excellent documentation and API’s with examples.
I will show you the 6 most popular frameworks, and tell you the current version,
download link and which websites these frameworks use. Also the size of the .js file,
which is an important detail.
