Vue vs React vs Angular
All three build interfaces from components, but they differ in size, syntax and how much they decide for you.

Vue vs React vs Angular
Vue uses HTML-like templates with directives and offers official routing and state libraries with gentle defaults.
React uses JSX and leaves most choices to you. Angular is a full framework with TypeScript, dependency injection and many built-in tools.
Pick based on team skills and project size.
Note:
All three share the same ideas: components, props and reactive state.

Vue.createApp({
data() {
return {
frameworks: [
{ name: "Vue", style: "Progressive", template: "HTML templates" },
{ name: "React", style: "Library", template: "JSX" },
{ name: "Angular", style: "Full framework", template: "HTML + TypeScript" },
