Mobile app development
One main focus for the big three is mobile
deployment. React has React Native,
which has become a popular choice for
building iOS and Android apps not just
for React users but also for the wider
app development community. Angular
developers can use NativeScript for native
apps or Ionic for hybrid mobile apps,
whereas Vue developers have a choice of
NativeScript or Vue Native. Because of the
popularity of mobile applications, this
remains a key area of investment.


Other frameworks to look
out for in 2020
If you want to try something new in 2020,
check out these JavaScript frameworks.


Ember: An open-source framework for
building web applications that works


based on the MVVM pattern. It is used
by several big companies like Microsoft,
Netflix and LinkedIn.

Meteor: A full-stack JavaScript platform
for developing modern web and mobile
applications. It’s easy to learn and has a
very supportive community.

Conclusion
All three frameworks are continually
improving, which is an encouraging
sign. Everyone has their own perspective
and preferred solution about which one
they should use but it really comes down
to the size of the project and which
makes you feel more comfortable. The
most important aspect is the continued
support of their communities, so if you
are planning to start a new project and
have never used any of the three before,
then I believe you are in safe hands with
all of them. If you haven’t had a chance
to learn any of the three frameworks yet,
then I suggest making it your New Year’s
resolution to start learning. The future
will revolve around these three!
