With so many frameworks out there, each with its distinctive features, we'd be focusing in this article on just three: Vite.js, Next.js and Solid.js touching why and when either of the three should be used for our project having understood their strengths and differences.

๐Ÿ“Œ Vite.js :

Vite.js primarily focuses on providing the necessary tools and utilities for developing decentralized applications(DApps). However, vite.js can be used as a powerful frontend development framework for building web applications even if they are not related to blockchain. In the context of web development vite.js offers swift and optimized development servers, an environment that supports TypeScript and JSX amongst other languages and syntax.

When to use Vite.js

  • If you want a framework with a faster build time, Vite.js is your best bet!

๐Ÿ“Œ Next.js :

Next.js is a popular React framework known for simplifying Server-side Rendering (SSR) and Static site generation (SSG). In addition, Next.js provides features like automatic code splitting, file-based routing for efficient routing, support for CSS modules etc.

When to use Next.js

  • Use Next.js if you require Server-side rendering or State site generation for improved performance and search engine optimization(SEO).

  • Next.js is suitable for a wide range of web applications from simple websites to large-scale enterprise projects.

๐Ÿ“Œ Solid.js :

Solid.js is a JavaScript library that helps you build user interfaces for web applications. It focuses on making your user interface reactive meaning it automatically updates when the data it depends on changes.

When to use Solid.js

  • If you want to build a highly responsive and efficient user interface, Solid.js is a great option.

  • if you also prefer a lightweight library with performance optimization, Solid.js is a great choice.

To sum up, these three discussed framework are powerful frameworks but the nature of your project demand in particular which amongst them is right to use and this consequently is tied to the success of your project. Factors like performance, scalability, and team expertise should determine which you use.
