Análise comparativa de desempenho de frameworks frontend para aplicações web

Abstract

JavaScript language has evolved a lot in the last years when it comes to the web development environment. As the most complex language among other front-end languages, there has been emerging a great variety of front-end frameworks for it, each with their similarities and differences, whereas two of the most popular, nowadays, are React and Vue. As there are a lot of different frameworks, many developers find it difficult to choose which is the most suitable for their project, or even choose only based on their familiarity, resisting to the effort required to learn a new and maybe even more suitable framework. Hence, this project intends to do a comparative analysis about performance criteria between React and Vue, still considering their learning curve. We will develop two applications, each with one of the two frameworks, só that we can collect data for comparison. In the end, we will compare our results with the ones found in the literature to reinforce or refute previous data and make a second reflection about the performance gap versus the required effort on learning each one, since it is not every project that has the time needed for the learning a new technology.
