Express
OpenJS Foundation
Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is quick and easy. Express provides a thin layer of fundamental web application features, without obscuring Node.js features that you know and love. Express has no notion of a database. This concept is left up to third-party Node modules, allowing you to interface with nearly any database. In Express, 404 responses are not the result of an error, so the error-handler middleware will not capture them. This behavior is because a 404 response simply indicates the absence of additional work to do; in other words, Express has executed all middleware functions and routes, and found that none of them responded.Starting Price: Free -

Backbone.js
Backbone.js
Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface. When working on a web application that involves a lot of JavaScript, one of the first things you learn is to stop tying your data to the DOM. It's all too easy to create JavaScript applications that end up as tangled piles of jQuery selectors and callbacks, all trying frantically to keep data in sync between the HTML UI, your JavaScript logic, and the database on your server. For rich client-side applications, a more structured approach is often helpful. With Backbone, you represent your data as Models, which can be created, validated, destroyed, and saved to the server.Starting Price: Free -

Preact
Preact
Preact provides the thinnest possible Virtual DOM abstraction on top of the DOM. It builds on stable platform features, registers real event handlers and plays nicely with other libraries. Most UI frameworks are large enough to be the majority of an app's JavaScript size. Preact is different: it's small enough that your code is the largest part of your application. That means less JavaScript to download, parse and execute - leaving more time for your code, so you can build an experience you define without fighting to keep a framework under control. Preact is fast, and not just because of its size. It's one of the fastest Virtual DOM libraries out there, thanks to a simple and predictable diff implementation. We automatically batch updates and tune Preact to the extreme when it comes to performance. We work closely with browser engineers to get the maximum performance possible out of Preact.Starting Price: Free -

Moment.js
Moment.js
A JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. Moment was designed to work both in the browser and in Node.js. All code should work in both of these environments, and all unit tests are run in both of these environments. Moment.js has been successfully used in millions of projects. As of September 2020, Moment gets over 12 million downloads per week! Moment has evolved somewhat over the years, but it has essentially the same design as it did when it was created in 2011. Moment works well on Internet Explorer 8 and higher. Some libraries are split into modules, plugins, or companion libraries. Some libraries use the ECMAScript Intl API for locales, time zones, or both. Some libraries still provide their own locale and time zone files as Moment and Moment-Timezone do. Because different locales define week of year numbering differently, Moment.js added options to get/set the localized week of the year.Starting Price: Free -

ASP.NET Core
Microsoft
Millions of developers use or have used ASP.NET 4.x to create web apps. ASP.NET Core is a redesign of ASP.NET 4.x, including architectural changes that result in a leaner, more modular framework. ASP.NET Core 3.x and later can only target .NET Core. Generally, ASP.NET Core is composed of .NET Standard libraries. Libraries written with .NET Standard 2.0 run on any .NET platform that implements .NET Standard 2.0. There are several advantages to targeting .NET Core, and these advantages increase with each release. Tag Helpers enable server-side code to participate in creating and rendering HTML elements in Razor files. Built-in support for multiple data formats and content negotiation lets your web APIs reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices.Starting Price: Free -

Omniscient
Omniscient
Do fast top-down rendering of views while thinking functional programming. Allow your views to be predictable, naturally separated, and composable, but still performant. Omniscient is to React as memoize is to the Fibonacci function. Functional programming for UIs. Memoization for stateless React components. Top-down rendering of components (unidirectional data flow). Favors immutable data (with Immutable.js). Encourages small, composable components, and shared functionality through mixins. Natural separation of concern. Components only deal with their own piece of data. Efficient and centrally defined. In its simplest form, an Omniscient component is a Stateless React Component, but more optimized. Omniscient is just as much a way to think when you are building applications as a library itself. As Omniscient is wrapped in a UMD you can use it many different ways, through CommonJS, AMD, or just through the window object.Starting Price: Free -

Popper
Popper
Positioning tooltips and popovers are difficult. Popper is here to help! Given an element, such as a button, and a tooltip element describing it, Popper will automatically put the tooltip in the right place near the button. It will position any UI element that "pops out" from the flow of your document and floats near a target element. The most common example is a tooltip, but it also includes popovers, drop-downs, and more. All of these can be generically described as a "popper" element. Click on the dots to place the tooltip. There are 12 different placements to choose from. Pure CSS poppers will not be prevented from overflowing clipping boundaries, such as the viewport. It will get partially cut off or overflows if it's near the edge since there is no dynamic positioning logic. When using Popper, your popper will always be positioned in the right place without needing manual adjustments.Starting Price: Free -

Three.js
Three.js
Three.js is a JavaScript 3D library. The aim of the project is to create an easy-to-use, lightweight, cross-browser, general-purpose 3D library. The current builds only include a WebGL renderer but WebGPU (experimental), SVG and CSS3D renderers are also available in the examples. To actually be able to display anything with three.js, we need three things, scene, camera, and renderer, so that we can render the scene with the camera. In addition to the WebGLRenderer, Three.js comes with a few others, often used as fallbacks for users with older browsers or for those who don't have WebGL support for some reason. Create a loop that causes the renderer to draw the scene every time the screen is refreshed (on a typical screen this means 60 times per second). Anything you want to move or change while the app is running has to go through the animate loop. You can of course call other functions from there.Starting Price: Free -

Solid
SolidJS
Solid stands on the shoulders of giants, particularly in React and Knockout. If you've developed using React Hooks, Solid will come naturally to you. In fact, more natural, since the Solid model is simpler, without the rules of the Hooks. Each component is executed once and it is the Hooks and bindings that are executed as many times as the dependencies are updated. Solid follows the same philosophy as React with one-way data flow, read/write segregation, and immutable interfaces. At the same time, it has a completely different implementation by dispensing with the Virtual DOM.Starting Price: Free -
23
Inferno
Inferno
Inferno doesn't have a fully synthetic event system like React does. Inferno has a partially synthetic event system, instead opting to only delegate certain events (such as `onClick`). Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes. Inferno is able to use the React Dev Tools extensions for Chrome/Firefox/etc to provide the same level of debugging experience to the Inferno user via inferno-devtools. Inferno has a partial synthetic event system, resulting in better performance via delegation of certain events. Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes.Starting Price: Free -

Polymer
Polymer
The Polymer library provides a set of features for creating custom elements. These features are designed to make it easier and faster to make custom elements that work like standard DOM elements. Similar to standard DOM elements, Polymer elements can be instantiated using a constructor or document creation element, configured using attributes or properties, populated with internal DOM inside each instance, responsive to property and attribute changes, styled with internal defaults or externally, and responsive to methods that manipulate its internal state. Registering an element associates a class with a custom element name. The element provides callbacks to manage its lifecycle. Polymer also lets you declare properties, to integrate your element's property API with the Polymer data system. Shadow DOM provides a local, encapsulated DOM tree for your element. Polymer can automatically create and populate a shadow tree for your element from a DOM template.Starting Price: Free -

ASP.NET
Microsoft
Blazor is a feature of ASP.NET for building interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor gives you real .NET running in the browser on WebAssembly. .NET is a developer platform made up of tools, programming languages, and libraries for building many different types of applications. ASP.NET supports industry standard authentication protocols. Built-in features help protect your apps against cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). ASP.NET provides a built-in user database with support for multi-factor authentication and external authentication with Google, Twitter, and more.Starting Price: Free -

Koa
Koa
Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. By leveraging async functions, Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware within its core, and it provides an elegant suite of methods that make writing servers fast and enjoyable. A Koa application is an object containing an array of middleware functions that are composed and executed in a stack-like manner upon request. Koa is similar to many other middleware systems that you may have encountered such as Ruby's Rack, Connect, and so on - however, a key design decision was made to provide high-level "sugar" at the otherwise low-level middleware layer. This improves interoperability, and robustness, and makes writing middleware much more enjoyable.Starting Price: Free -
