Aurelia vs. Vanilla JS vs. Vue.js vs. jQuery Comparison Chart

Aurelia's standards-based, unobtrusive style makes it the only framework that empowers you to build components using vanilla JavaScript or TypeScript. If you know modern JS and HTML, there's little more to learn to build even the most complex apps. At the core of Aurelia is a high-performance, reactive system, capable of batching DOM updates in a way that leaves other frameworks, and their virtual DOMs, in the dust. Experience consistent, scalable performance, no matter how complex your UI. Aurelia enables powerful reactive binding to any object. By using adaptive techniques Aurelia selects the most efficient way to observe each property in your model and automatically syncs your UI and your state with best-in-class performance. State management, internationalization and validation - all official plugins from the core team. CLI, VS Code plugin, and Chrome debugger - optional tools to enhance development.

Builds on top of standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript with intuitive API and world-class documentation. Truly reactive, compiler-optimized rendering system that rarely requires manual optimization. A rich, incrementally adoptable ecosystem that scales between a library and a full-featured framework. Vue is a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It builds on top of standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and provides a declarative and component-based programming model that helps you efficiently develop user interfaces, be it simple or complex. Vue extends standard HTML with a template syntax that allows us to declaratively describe HTML output based on JavaScript state. Vue automatically tracks JavaScript state changes and efficiently updates the DOM when changes happen. Vue is a framework and ecosystem that covers most of the common features needed in frontend development.
