Interpretation of similarities and differences between Vue and React

1. Differences in core design concepts

The underlying implementation of component form

  • Vue: After the component is compiled,Object containing render/setup method(Convert SFC to an object via vue-loader or @vitejs/plugin-vue).
  • React: The essence of the component isfunction(function component) or class (class component), JSX will be compiled into BabelCalled.

Compilation Differences between Template and JSX

  • Vue: Template will be optimized toTraceable dependencies rendering functions, achieve targeted updates through static analysis.
  • React: JSX compiles into pure JavaScript function calls, relying on developers to manually optimize (such as)。

2. Implementation of responsive system

Dimension Vue React
Data binding Responsive system based on Proxy/, automatically tracking dependencies Immutable data stream based on state (State) needs to be triggered manually
Update granularity Component-level + attribute-level targeted updates (optimized by Block Tree for virtual DOM) Component-level update (default full Diff, relying on Fiber scheduling optimization)
Trigger method Responsive data changes automatically trigger rendering You need to call the setState or Hooks function to trigger the update

3. Virtual DOM and Diff algorithms

Vue's targeted update

Tag dynamic nodes at compile time (e.g.{{ count }}), Diff only compares the dynamic part.

Example:

<!-- Generate after compilation Block mark -->
<h1>countThe value is: {{ count }}</h1>

React's Fiber Architecture

  • Split the Diff process into interruptable time slices, prioritizing high-priority tasks (such as animations).
  • Full Diff, but incremental update is achieved through the Fiber linked list structure.

4. The evolution of functional programming

frame plan Low-level implementation differences
Vue Composition API The setup function based on responsive system, relying on closure management status
React Hooks Relying on the linked list structure to maintain the state order, requiring the Hooks call order to be stable

5. Compilation time optimization comparison

Optimization strategy Vue React
Static boost Extract static nodes as constants No native support
Tree structure optimization Block Tree Reduces Diff Range Rely on developers to optimize manually
Pre-string Compile static HTML into string constants Not supported

Summarize

Similarities: Virtual DOM, componentization, and support functional programming.

Core Differences

  • Vue is implemented through compile-time optimization + responsive systemFine-grained update, React depends on runtime scheduling (Fiber) implementationControllable update priority
  • Vue'sProgressive designLower the threshold for getting started, ReactFunctional conceptProvides greater flexibility.

The above is personal experience. I hope you can give you a reference and I hope you can support me more.
