JavaScript Frameworks Market Share & Usage Statistics (2026)

React. Our crawl detects it on about 3 million live domains, roughly 41% of the sites where we see a JavaScript framework. Vue.js is second at about 15% (about 1.07 million domains), followed by AMP, React Router and Mustache. The top five hold about 76% of the category. React's real footprint is likely larger, since production and server-rendered builds strip many of the markers a crawler reads.

Our crawl finds React on about 3 million live domains, about 41% of the JavaScript frameworks category and well ahead of Vue.js at about 1.07 million. Treat it as a floor: modern production and server-rendered React builds hide many of the signatures a crawler looks for. Over the latest 30 days React lost about 62,000 net domains, with about 115,000 sites dropping it and 53,000 adding it.

Yes, and it's the only large JavaScript framework that is. Vue.js added about 52,000 net domains over the latest 30 days and about 105,000 over 90, reaching about 1.07 million live domains, roughly 15% of the category. The turnover under that gain is heavy, though: about 129,000 sites adopted it and 78,000 dropped it in 30 days, so part of the movement is likely platforms and widgets rather than new apps.

React, by nearly three to one on live sites: roughly 3 million domains against about 1.07 million for Vue.js in our crawl. The direction runs the other way. Over the latest 30 days Vue.js added about 52,000 net domains and React lost about 62,000. Both are free and open source; React has the larger ecosystem and hiring pool, while Vue's single-file components are often quicker for a small team to pick up.

Not really. AMP is the lightweight page format Google created, with its own runtime. It ranks third in our JavaScript frameworks data at about 660,000 live domains, but most of that count comes from Google AdSense's ad code, which sets AMP's runtime globals on ordinary pages. Very few of those sites serve AMP pages. Read the AMP row as a footprint of ad code, not of AMP adoption.

Yes, on about 103,000 live domains in our crawl, roughly 1.4% of the JavaScript frameworks category, even though Google stopped supporting it years ago. It keeps shrinking: it lost about 3,700 net domains over the latest 30 days. Most remaining installs are older applications where a rewrite to Angular or another framework hasn't been funded. A new project shouldn't start on AngularJS.

AngularJS is the original JavaScript framework, now unsupported. Angular is the TypeScript rewrite that replaced it, with a different architecture, so moving from one to the other is a migration, not an upgrade. In our crawl Angular runs on about 148,000 live domains and AngularJS on about 103,000. Angular is roughly flat over the latest 30 days, while AngularJS lost about 3,700 net domains.

Zone.js is the library Angular has used to detect when application state changes and the page needs updating. Our crawl finds it on about 157,000 live domains, and about 85% of them are Angular apps. It lost about 300,000 domains over 90 days, but that was one platform, not a trend: Squarespace sites stopped loading it. Newer Angular versions can run without Zone.js, so its count may keep falling.

The major ones are. React, Vue.js, Angular, Svelte, Alpine.js and Preact are all open source under the MIT licence, so there's nothing to license. The real costs are developer time, hosting and, for larger teams, paid component libraries or support contracts. Together these six account for about 65% of the live sites in our JavaScript frameworks data, so most of the category costs nothing to adopt.

For a mostly static site that needs some interactivity, a lightweight library is usually enough. Alpine.js runs on about 226,000 live domains in our crawl and is one of the few frameworks gaining on both our 30-day and 90-day windows. Preact, at about 69,000 domains, is a small React-compatible option. Vue.js suits a site that may grow into a full application, and React fits when you need its ecosystem.
