The JavaScript World

Contents

  • Framework vs Library
  • Outdated

This is likely to grow.

Angular FrontendFramework
MVC TypeScript-based front-end web application framework by Google
Express.js BackendFramework
A framework for Node.js designed for building web applications and APIs.
Gulp.js Tool
build system / task runner in front-end web development, used for automation of tasks like minification, concatenation, cache busting, unit testing, linting, optimization etc
Grunt Tool
Like Gulp. Grunt focuses on configuration, while gulp uses code.
jQuery FrontendLibrary
Library for DOM manipulation
Node.js BackendPlatform
Run-time environment for executing JavaScript code server-side
React FrontendLibrary
Library for building user interfaces by Facebook. No MVC, no templating. Components.

Framework vs Library

Framework
You fill in the gaps. The framework calls you.
Library
Collection of functions. You call the library functions; you write the main thing.

Outdated

The following is likely "outdated" in the sense that people who start learning something new should probably try an alternative (though I'm not too sure about it):

  • Backbone.js: Angular 2 seems to be the alternative
  • Ember.js: Angular 2 seems to be the alternative
