These frameworks often extend or enhance features available through native web technologies, such as routing, component-based development, and state management.
While native web standards, including Web Components, modern JavaScript APIs like Fetch and ES Modules, and browser capabilities like Shadow DOM, have advanced significantly, frameworks remain widely used for their ability to enhance developer productivity, offer structured patterns for large-scale applications, simplify handling edge cases, and provide tools for performance optimization.
[14][15][16] Frameworks can introduce abstraction layers that may contribute to performance overhead, larger bundle sizes, and increased complexity.
Modern frameworks, such as React 18 and Vue 3, address these challenges with features like concurrent rendering, tree-shaking, and selective hydration.
Framework choice depends on an application’s requirements, including the team’s expertise, performance goals, and development priorities.
