As promised last week, we’d like to introduce the 2019 JavaScript Rising Stars.
For the 4th consecutive year, we compiled data about the trendiest projects on GitHub over the last 12 months. And for the 4th year the overall winner is the same: Vue.js.
We wanted to provide a complete overview of the JavaScript landscape in 2019. Rankings are organized using the tags from Best of JavaScript:
- UI frameworks (led by Vue.js)
- Node.js frameworks (led by Nest)
- React ecosystem (led by Ant Design)
- Vue.js ecosystem (led by Vue Element Admin)
- and much more!
It’s available in Chinese and Spanish, anyone can contribute if you want to add comments for a given section. Thank you for your feedback!
