@vue/runtime-core

This package is published only for typing and building custom renderers. It is NOT meant to be used in applications.

For full exposed APIs, see src/index.ts.

Building a Custom Renderer

import { createRenderer } from '@vue/runtime-core'

const { render, createApp } = createRenderer({
  patchProp,
  insert,
  remove,
  createElement,
  // ...
})

// `render` is the low-level API
// `createApp` returns an app instance with configurable context shared
// by the entire app tree.
export { render, createApp }

export * from '@vue/runtime-core'

See @vue/runtime-dom for how a DOM-targeting renderer is implemented.

react

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It also has a virtual DOM, component-based architecture, and its own reactivity system. React focuses on a declarative programming model and differs from Vue in syntax and the ecosystem of tools and extensions.

preact

Preact is a fast, 3kB alternative to React with the same modern API. It provides a similar component-based architecture and virtual DOM system but aims to be smaller and faster. Preact is often used for performance-critical applications or when a smaller bundle size is needed.

inferno

Inferno is another React-like library for building high-performance user interfaces. It is heavily optimized for performance and claims to be one of the fastest JavaScript UI libraries available. Inferno shares some similarities with Vue's reactivity and component system but is more focused on performance.

svelte

Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Unlike Vue, which updates the DOM in response to state changes, Svelte compiles components to highly optimized imperative code that surgically updates the DOM. This results in faster runtime performance and smaller bundle sizes.
