JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit vs. Moment.js vs. React vs. Three.js Comparison Chart

A JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. Moment was designed to work both in the browser and in Node.js. All code should work in both of these environments, and all unit tests are run in both of these environments. Moment.js has been successfully used in millions of projects. As of September 2020, Moment gets over 12 million downloads per week! Moment has evolved somewhat over the years, but it has essentially the same design as it did when it was created in 2011. Moment works well on Internet Explorer 8 and higher. Some libraries are split into modules, plugins, or companion libraries. Some libraries use the ECMAScript Intl API for locales, time zones, or both. Some libraries still provide their own locale and time zone files as Moment and Moment-Timezone do. Because different locales define week of year numbering differently, Moment.js added options to get/set the localized week of the year.

Three.js is a JavaScript 3D library. The aim of the project is to create an easy-to-use, lightweight, cross-browser, general-purpose 3D library. The current builds only include a WebGL renderer but WebGPU (experimental), SVG and CSS3D renderers are also available in the examples. To actually be able to display anything with three.js, we need three things, scene, camera, and renderer, so that we can render the scene with the camera. In addition to the WebGLRenderer, Three.js comes with a few others, often used as fallbacks for users with older browsers or for those who don't have WebGL support for some reason. Create a loop that causes the renderer to draw the scene every time the screen is refreshed (on a typical screen this means 60 times per second). Anything you want to move or change while the app is running has to go through the animate loop. You can of course call other functions from there.
