All About Svelte, the Much-Loved, State-Driven Web Framework
The latest Stack Overflow developer survey revealed that, amongst those surveyed, the most-loved web framework is Svelte, a relatively young, open source web user interface framework for defining a web interface with components. Svelte is implemented as a compiler, written in TypeScript, and is designed to do as much of the work as it can at build time, rather than in the browser.
The key to Svelte is that it eliminates the need for the virtual DOM.
One advantage of this approach, Mark Volkmann, partner and distinguished engineer at Object Computing and author of “Svelte and Saper in Action,” told The New Stack, is that “you’re more free to just reach into the actual DOM and modify it.
Sapper, an application framework that has been built on top of Svelte, is the current logical way to get more features, but it hasn’t, and will now never, reach 1.0 status since it has been superseded by SvelteKit, also currently in a public beta.
