With the rapid growth of the mobile Internet, developers need to juggle not only developing for the Web, but alsoiOS、Android、appletand many other platforms. This makes "cross-end development"It's become a hot topic. And based onVueThe cross-end frameworks are favored by a large number of developers for their excellent performance and flexible development experience. Among the many choices, there are seven major frameworks that have received particular attention:Ionic、uni-app、Taro、NativeScript、Mpvue、Weex、Framework7. Let's take a look at their features today, and how many of them have you used?
Ionic(Github Star: 51K)
Ionicis a cross-platform framework based on Web technologies, initially started as aAngularbased, but is now fully supported。IonicThe biggest advantage is its rich library of UI components, enabling developers to quickly create interfaces that are similar in style to native apps.IonicA robust tool chain is also provided, includingCLI、Cordova/Capacitoretc., making the project very smooth from development to packaging.
However, it is not so hot in China, mainly because it does not support the relationship of small programs
Pros:
- Powerful UI component library
- Well-documented and community support
- Support for multiple frameworks (Vue, Angular, React)
Drawbacks:
- WebView-based performance may not perform as well as pure native apps
Applicable Scenarios
- Rapidly build cross-platform mobile applications, especially for projects that require good UI design.
uni-app(Github Star: 40K)
uni-app It is the country's most popularOne of the cross-end frameworks, launched by DCloud. It supports compiling to multiple platforms at the same time, including WeChat applets, Alipay applets, H5, iOS, Android, and more than a dozen other target platforms.uni-app utilizationVueSyntax, with a good ecosystem and a rich library of plug-ins and components, can significantly improve development efficiency.
Pros:
- Very strong multiterminal support
- Compatible with the Vue ecosystem, easy to get started
- Provides rich plug-ins and components
Drawbacks:
- Support for some platform features may be somewhat limited
Applicable Scenarios
- Business applications that need to work across multiple platforms (applets, mobile, H5, etc.).
Taro(Github Star: 35K)
Taro It is a multi-terminal development framework developed and open-sourced by Jingdong , mainly for multi-terminal small program development , while supporting H5 and mobile .TaroWhat's special about it is that it supports the use ofReactsyntax (which, of course, now supportsVue), provides developers with an all-in-one solution for cross-end development. You can use one set of code to compile for WeChat applets, Alipay applets, Byte Jump applets, H5 and other multiple ends.
Pros:
- Powerful applet support
- Dual support for React and Vue for flexible options
- Good community maintenance
Drawbacks:
- Relatively weak adaptation to non-applet platforms
Applicable Scenarios
- Applet-focused projects, especially teams looking to reuse code from multiple ends.
NativeScript
NativeScriptis a program that enables developers to use(and Angular or TypeScript) framework for building truly native iOS and Android applications. Its most important feature is that it directly calls the native API without relying on WebView, thus ensuring a near-native performance experience.
Pros:
- Native performance, near-native app experience
- Direct access to the native API
- Vue is well supported
Drawbacks:
- Relatively steep learning curve
- Community support is not as strong as popular frameworks like Ionic
Applicable Scenarios
- Cross-platform applications that require a high degree of native performance.
Mpvue
Mpvueis an open source project launched by Meituan Dianping, specifically designed for small program development, support based on theWriting WeChat applets. Its core concept is to maximize reuse ofVuecode logic, while allowing developers to utilize theVueof the ecosystem.
Pros:
- Deep integration reduces learning costs
- Support for Vue family buckets (Vue Router, Vuex, etc.)
Drawbacks:
- Only support WeChat small program, no longer updated
- Low community activity
Applicable Scenarios
- WeChat applet development for developers familiar with Vue.
Weex
Weexis a cross-platform development framework developed by Alibaba, with the initial goal of using theto build native mobile apps.Weex The best feature of theVueCode is converted to native components, which improves the performance of the application.
Pros:
- Native rendering for better performance
- High flexibility
Drawbacks:
- Higher complexity and learning costs
- Weakening of community support
Applicable Scenarios
- Cross-platform application development that requires a high-performance, near-native experience.
Framework7
Framework7 is a front-end framework focusing on mobile applications, first developed based on pure JavaScript and HTML, and later added to theVuecap (a poem)Reactof support.Framework7 Provides a set of native-like UI components , especially on iOS and Android perform well , ideal for rapid development of applications with mobile native style .
Pros:
- Native style UI component library
- Focus on mobile development, better experience
- Support for Vue, React and Svelte
Drawbacks:
- Less ecological than other frameworks
Applicable Scenarios
- Need to build native style mobile apps quickly.
summarize
Each of these seven Vue-based cross-end frameworks has its own unique characteristics and is suitable for different project requirements and development scenarios. If you need to quickly developapplet、mobilecap (a poem)H5 applications，uni-app cap (a poem)Taro are very good choices; if you pursuenative performance，NativeScript cap (a poem)Weex may be more suitable for you; if you need a powerfulUI component support，Ionic cap (a poem)Framework7 It's worth a try.
So, which ones have you used? Or which one is your favorite? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section!
The framework has been included in my full-stack front-end one-stop development platform "front-end vision" (browser search front-end vision first), interested welcome to browse and use!
