Overview

Vue.js was created by Evan You and is known for its simplicity and ease of integration. It combines the best features of React and Angular, offering a flexible and powerful system for building modern web applications.

Key Concepts

  • Reactivity System: Automatically updates the UI when data changes.
  • Templates: Uses an HTML-based template syntax to bind the DOM to the underlying data.
  • Composition API: A modern way to organize component logic (introduced in Vue 3).
  • Single-File Components (.vue): Encapsulate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a single file.

Ecosystem

Vue has a strong ecosystem, including Nuxt.js for SSR and Vuex/Pinia for state management.
