Vuejs

Vue.js, commonly referred to as Vue, is an open-source JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It was created by Evan You and released in 2014. Vue is designed to be incrementally adoptable, with its core library focusing on the view layer while offering officially maintained libraries for routing, state management, and tooling.

At its core, Vue provides a reactive data-binding system and a component-based architecture. Components encapsulate template, logic, and styles in single-file components with a .vue extension. The reactivity system tracks changes and efficiently updates the DOM. Vue supports both the Options API and the newer Composition API introduced with Vue 3 to improve logic composition and TypeScript integration.

Vue's ecosystem includes Vue Router for client-side routing and state management options such as Pinia (recommended for Vue 3) and Vuex in earlier setups. Build tooling options include Vue CLI and Vite, while the Nuxt.js framework offers server-side rendering and static site generation for Vue applications. The core library is intentionally small and extensible, emphasizing performance and a smooth developer experience.

Vue 3, released in 2020, introduced the Composition API, performance improvements, and better TypeScript support, while maintaining compatibility with existing ecosystems through adapters and plugins. The framework is used by a wide range of projects—from small startups to large enterprises—valued for its approachable syntax, comprehensive documentation, and active community. Vue.js is distributed under the MIT license and is maintained by a core team along with many contributors.
