As soon as I saw this, I knew there were limits to this author's knowledge on the subject. React was a requirement for the low-latency UI we built for a major commercial app and without it (or a similar library) the user experience we shot for would have been impossible.
- jasonwelk 10y agoI agree, but it also possible to use these frameworks without much understanding of the DOM and I think anyone serious about web development should have a good inside grasp on how the DOM works before using a library.
- moron4hire 10y agoReact Virtual DOM is faster than rebuilding the entire DOM from scratch, yes. But making edits to DOM manually will be faster with native browser functions and no VDOM diffing overhead.
