When did React become the definition of anything? Why not Seaside? They came up with the idea around 15 years before React entered the scene. This is pure stupid, straight through. It's a DOM and it's virtual, hence a virtual DOM.
- zodiac 10y agoNo it's not stupid - your etymology makes much less sense to me. DOM in virtual DOM refers to the tree that browsers use internally and provide an API against, not just any tree like structure that can be serialized to HTML (which seems to be your definition). That's why it's referred to as "the DOM" with a definite article. The "virtual" part then means something like "shadow" as in a copy that is kept in sync. By that definition you didn't create a "virtual DOM". What is your definition of "virtual", "DOM" and "virtual DOM"?
- codr4life 10y agoFeel free to define whatever however you want. This is a virtual DOM, because that is what the expression means; who's most popular right now matters not at all. And the only reason you feel obliged to drag the discussion down to this level is because it makes you feel insecure. You would do well to learn to like that feeling instead, that leads forward.
- zodiac 10y agoWell, I'm asking you to tell me why you think your thing is a "virtual DOM". And your only response on this thread is "this is a virtual DOM, because that is what the expression means". Why is it what the expression means?
