Ask HN: What front-end JavaScript library

2 points by touristtam 12y ago

Hi, I am a bit confused by the sheer number of front-end JS library existing and claiming to be the best ones. Anyone got some metrics showing a good comparison (extensive one, possibly with benchmarks) with clear argumentation? I know the standard answer is: "use what you are comfortable to use", but I am just starting with front-end development, so I don't have any prejudice for or against any specific framework/lib. I am quite appealed by something rather small in size, that would allow me to query an api easily and would take off the hassle of dealing directly with DOM. Thanks.

As cliché as it sounds, only you know the true answer to this. Pick a small project and build it using a few different frameworks. This should give you insight into what's most appropriate for your needs.
