As a software developer, I have learned and worked with both React and Svelte. Let's explore the pros and cons of React versus Svelte.
React's Strengths
React has been around for a while unlike Svelte which is relatively new. This results in:
- A significantly larger ecosystem when working with libraries than Svelte. Finding libraries to achieve specific functionalities in Svelte can be challenging.
- React is highly sought after in frontend development roles.
Svelte's Strengths
Svelte is much easier and fun to use than React which means that
- You can get from an idea to a working prototype faster in Svelte than in React (This makes it useful for backend developers)
- Working with the DOM is easier in Svelte thanks to element bindings unlike in React with the cumbersome
useRefhook - Svelte is much faster since it has a compiler.
In conclusion, While React is a staple in the industry, I find Svelte's simplicity and speed to be a refreshing and efficient development experience.
