Svelte is a new way to build web applications. It's a compiler that takes your declarative components and converts them into efficient JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM.
Learn more at the Svelte website, or stop by the Discord chatroom.
You can play around with Svelte in the tutorial, examples, and REPL.
When you're ready to build a full-fledge application, we recommend using SvelteKit:
npx sv create my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev
See the SvelteKit documentation to learn more.
The Changelog for this package is available on GitHub.
Svelte is an MIT-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible entirely by fantastic volunteers. If you'd like to support their efforts, please consider:
Funds donated via Open Collective will be used for compensating expenses related to Svelte's development.
React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It uses a virtual DOM for efficient updates, and it's known for its component-based architecture. Unlike Svelte, React requires a runtime library and often involves more boilerplate code.
Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework used for building UIs and single-page applications. It is similar to Svelte in its component structure and reactivity model but differs in that it uses a virtual DOM and requires a runtime.
Angular is a platform and framework for building single-page client applications using HTML and TypeScript. It is more prescriptive than Svelte, with a complex ecosystem and a steep learning curve, and it includes features like dependency injection and RxJS integration.
Preact is a fast, 3kB alternative to React with the same modern API. It provides a similar component-based architecture but with a smaller footprint. Preact is closer to Svelte in terms of size but still operates with a virtual DOM.
