What is Vue and How Does it Stand in Popularity Compared to React?
Vue.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for building front-end user interfaces. Since its release in 2014, Vue has gradually gained attention among the developer community, largely for its effectiveness in building scalable, maintainable, and resource-efficient applications.
The framework’s lightweight and adaptable nature, ease of use, and powerful features make it a strong choice for building applications. But, with new technology and frameworks emerging much more frequently than previously seen, competition is at an all-time high. So the question is: Will Vue become the most popular front-end framework in 2024?
As a front-end developer with a focus on web technologies, I’m still surprised by the innovation of tools like Vue. In this article, I’ll unpack the features that make this framework so versatile, how it compares to React, the most-used JavaScript framework today, and share my predictions for the future of Vue.

What Is Vue?
Vue is a model–view–ViewModel front-end JavaScript framework that strongly emphasizes the view layer and supports a component-based architecture.
The framework is an excellent option for creating complex single-page applications (SPA). It also has a progressive design that makes it incrementally adaptable, so developers don’t have to go all-in from the project’s outset. Instead, they can start small by bringing tools or features in as needed and gradually convert their application architecture to leverage Vue.
