Overview
Unlike React and Vue, which do most of their work in the browser (using a Virtual DOM), Svelte is a compiler. It converts your declarative components into highly efficient, vanilla JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM.
Key Features
- No Virtual DOM: Results in faster performance and smaller bundle sizes.
- Truly Reactive: Uses simple variable assignments to trigger UI updates.
- Less Code: Svelte's syntax is concise, requiring fewer lines of code than other frameworks.
- Built-in Transitions: Native support for animations and transitions.
Ecosystem
SvelteKit is the official framework for building full-stack applications with Svelte.
