JavaScript Frameworks
FAQ.

What is JavaScript Frameworks software?

JavaScript Frameworks covers the tools a site can load or configure to handle this part of its stack. We detect one of the 69 javascript frameworks tools in this category on 6,888,808 live sites. A detection means we found the technology on the site, which is not the same as a paid account.

What are the most popular javascript frameworks platforms?

Across 6,888,808 detected sites, the most widely found javascript frameworks tools are: React (42.4% share, 2,920,537 sites), Vue.js (12.59% share, 867,190 sites), AMP (9% share, 620,012 sites). Others we see regularly include React Router and Zone.js.

Which javascript frameworks tool has the largest market share?

React is the most widely detected javascript frameworks tool at 42.4% share, on 2,920,537 sites. The largest share of those sites belongs to Software Development companies, and to businesses in the 1-10 employee band.

Which industries use javascript frameworks software the most?

The industries with the most detected sites in this category are IT Services and IT Consulting, Retail, Software Development, Business Consulting and Services, Real Estate. Industry mix follows where these tools get installed, so a category carried by website builders or agency templates will lean toward the verticals those platforms serve rather than the vendor's target buyer.

Which countries have the highest adoption of javascript frameworks tools?

We detect the most javascript frameworks sites in United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Brazil, India. Country here is the company's registered location in our enriched data rather than where the site is served from, so read it as a ranking of markets rather than a measure of any single one.

How do I choose the right javascript frameworks platform?

Start from your own size, industry and primary use case rather than from share. React, Vue.js and AMP are the three we detect most often in this category, which tells you what is common, not what fits you. Compare their integrations, pricing tiers and support commitments against the workflow you actually run, and check each vendor's own documentation for current capabilities.

How many companies use javascript frameworks software?

TechnologyChecker.io detects javascript frameworks tools on 6,888,808 live sites. That is a count of sites carrying the technology, not a count of paying customers, and a site running two tools in this category is counted under each. We crawl 2 billion+ URLs across 29.9M live business domains each sweep.

What is the source of this data?

TechnologyChecker.io's web crawling and technology detection platform. We've logged 2.12 billion total detections over 20+ years, covering 40,000+ technologies across the 29.9M live business domains we successfully crawl each sweep. Detection methods include JavaScript analysis, HTTP headers, HTML patterns, DNS records, and certificate transparency logs.

Common questions about javascript frameworks software, answered with real data.

What is the best framework for JavaScript?

There's no single best framework — it depends on your use case. React dominates with 69.74% market share across 5.3 million active domains in our data. Vue.js follows at 6.37% (483,858 domains), popular for its gentle learning curve. For animation-heavy sites, GSAP covers 431,879 domains. The 'best' choice depends on your team's skills, project scale, and hiring market. React has the largest talent pool by far.

Is JavaScript still relevant in 2026?

Very much so. Our database tracks over 7.5 million domains running JavaScript frameworks, and that number keeps growing. React alone added millions of deployments between 2020 and 2025. Even legacy frameworks like AngularJS (deprecated in 2021) still run on 158,783 domains. JavaScript isn't just relevant — it remains the dominant language for building web interfaces, and TypeScript has only strengthened the ecosystem.

What is the future of JavaScript frameworks?

The trend is toward server-side rendering and smaller client bundles. Next.js (React), Nuxt (Vue), and SvelteKit are pushing more work to the server. We also see legacy frameworks declining: AngularJS lost over 873,000 domains to churn, RequireJS lost 51% of active domains between March and July 2025, and Backbone.js continues its steady decline from 709,623 previous users. New frameworks compete on developer experience and performance, not feature count.

Is JavaScript being phased out?

No. JavaScript remains the only language browsers execute natively, and nothing credible is replacing it. WebAssembly handles niche performance use cases but doesn't replace JS for DOM interaction. Our data shows React growing to 5.3 million domains, Vue at 483,858, and even legacy libraries like Handlebars still running on 156,587 domains. JavaScript is evolving — not disappearing.

What's the difference between React and Vue?

React (by Meta) uses JSX to mix JavaScript and HTML, has a massive ecosystem, and dominates at 69.74% market share. Vue (by Evan You) uses template-based syntax that feels more like traditional HTML, and holds 6.37% market share across 483,858 domains. React has more third-party libraries and job listings. Vue has a gentler learning curve and is popular in China and France. Both can build the same apps — the difference is developer preference.

Which JavaScript framework has the largest market share?

React leads with 69.74% of the JavaScript frameworks market in our detection data, covering 5,295,987 active domains. Vue.js is second at 6.37% (483,858 domains), followed by GSAP at 5.69% (431,879 domains). RequireJS holds 3.06% and AngularJS 2.09%, though both are declining legacy tools. React's dominance reflects both its Meta backing and its massive ecosystem of libraries, tools, and frameworks built on top of it.

Is AngularJS still used in 2026?

Yes, but it shouldn't be. Google deprecated AngularJS in December 2021, meaning no security patches or bug fixes. Yet our data still shows 158,783 active domains running it, alongside 873,756 domains that previously used it. Enterprise applications built during 2014-2018 account for most of this — migration to Angular (v2+) or React is expensive. If you're starting a new project, don't pick AngularJS. If you're maintaining one, plan a migration.

How do I choose the right JavaScript framework?

Consider three factors: team skills, project requirements, and ecosystem size. React fits most use cases and has the largest hiring pool. Vue is great for smaller teams that want faster onboarding. For animation-heavy marketing sites, GSAP (431,879 domains) is purpose-built. If you need a component library, Material-UI (95,680 domains) provides ready-made React components. Don't chase trends — pick the framework your team can ship with consistently.

What happened to Backbone.js?

Backbone.js was one of the first popular MVC frameworks for JavaScript, launched in 2010. It's now largely superseded by React, Vue, and Angular. Our data shows 133,124 active domains still running Backbone.js, but it has 709,623 previous users — meaning more sites have removed it than currently use it. The framework still appears in enterprise codebases built during 2011-2015, but new projects rarely choose it.

Is Material-UI worth using for React projects?

Material-UI (now MUI) is the most popular React component library, running on 95,680 domains in our data. It implements Google's Material Design and provides pre-built components for forms, tables, navigation, and dialogs. It's worth it if you want a consistent, professional UI without designing every component from scratch. The trade-off is bundle size and a recognizable 'Material Design look' that some teams find too generic.
