Bower vs. Velocity.js vs. Vue.js vs. blanket.js Comparison Chart

Web sites are made of lots of things, frameworks, libraries, assets, and utilities. Bower manages all these things for you. Keeping track of all these packages and making sure they are up to date (or set to the specific versions you need) is tricky. Bower to the rescue! Bower can manage components that contain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, or even image files. Bower doesn’t concatenate or minify code or do anything else, it just installs the right versions of the packages you need and their dependencies. To get started, Bower works by fetching and installing packages from all over, taking care of hunting, finding, downloading, and saving the stuff you’re looking for. Bower keeps track of these packages in a manifest file, bower.json. How you use packages is up to you. Bower provides hooks to facilitate using packages in your tools and workflows. Bower is optimized for the front-end. If multiple packages depend on a package, jQuery, for example, Bower will download jQuery just once.

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.
