Istanbul vs. Ping-API vs. React vs. VBScript Comparison Chart

JavaScript test coverage made simple. Istanbul instruments your ES5 and ES2015+ JavaScript code with line counters, so that you can track how well your unit-tests exercise your codebase. The nyc command-line-client for Istanbul works well with most JavaScript testing frameworks, tap, mocha, AVA, etc. First-class support of ES6/ES2015+ using babel-plugin-Istanbul. Support for the most popular JavaScript testing frameworks. Support for instrumenting subprocesses, using the nyc command-line interface. Adding coverage to your mocha tests could not be easier. Now, simply place the command nyc in front of your existing test command. nyc's instrument command can be used to instrument source files outside of the context of your unit tests. nyc is able to show you all Node processes that are spawned when running a test script under it. By default, nyc uses Istanbul's text reporter. However, you may specify an alternative reporter.

React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug. Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM. We don’t make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React components implement a render() method that takes input data and returns what to display. This example uses an XML-like syntax called JSX. Input data that is passed into the component can be accessed by render() via this.props.
