First they say:
> New application frameworks (Backbone, React, Ember, Polymer, Angular, etc.) have helped architect web applications in a more scalable and maintainable way.
Then they say:
> The consequence of this evolution in web technologies is that large JavaScript libraries, such as YUI, have been receiving less attention from the community. Many developers today look at large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don’t want to be locked into.
Huh?
- mikeryan 12y agoBackbone, React, and Polymer at least are component Libraries (Backbone can be used as a lightweight framework but its also a collection of tools) Ember and Angular are heavier weight but they do play well with others in different cases (there is definite lock in however with those).
- spankalee 12y agoIf by "component library" you mean a library of components, then Polymer is not a component library. Polymer is just a library that helps you write custom elements. The Polymer project has created two separate component libraries of elements made with Polymer - core-elements and paper-elements - but Polymer itself doesn't contain any components.
- armandososa 12y agoI think he doesn't refer to components as in "web components", but as small chunks of functionality. But maybe you already knew that.
- argonaut 12y agoEven the heavy frameworks (Angular, Ember) are significantly lighter than YUI.
