Overview

SolidJS shares a similar syntax to React (using JSX) but operates very differently under the hood. Like Svelte, it avoids the Virtual DOM and instead uses fine-grained reactivity to update only the parts of the DOM that change.

Key Features

  • Fine-Grained Reactivity: Uses 'Signals' to track and propagate changes efficiently.
  • No Virtual DOM: Direct DOM updates for maximum performance.
  • JSX Support: Familiar syntax for React developers.
  • Small Bundle Size: Extremely lightweight and fast.

Benefits

SolidJS consistently tops performance benchmarks, making it an excellent choice for performance-critical applications.
