Choosing SPA Framework

Choosing a SPA Framework

When considering which JavaScript framework will work best to support your SPA, keep in mind the following considerations:

• Is your team familiar with the framework and its dependencies (including TypeScript in some cases)?
• How opinionated is the framework, and do you agree with its default way of doing things?
• Does it (or a companion library) include all of the features your app requires?
• Is it well-documented?
• How active is its community? Are new projects building built with it?
• How active is its core team? Are issues being resolved and new versions shipped regularly?

JavaScript frameworks continue to evolve with breakneck speed. Use the considerations listed above to help mitigate the risk of choosing a framework you'll later regret being dependent upon. If you're particularly risk-averse, consider a framework that offers commercial support and/or is being developed by a large enterprise.
