JavaScript's popularity continues to rise and has become a promising language for modern web databases such as MongoDB and CouchDB which use JavaScript as their scripting and query language.
In 2016, we witnessed great changes such as AngularJS upgrading its framework and introducing Angular 2, where jQuery is applied on 96% of all JavaScript’s sites, the evolution of ECMAScript, back-to-back updates for Node.JS, React finest hours, and even more.
Moreover, projects such as Node.js and io.js provide powerful platforms to develop scalable server environments using JavaScript. The JavaScript powered by Google’s V8 engines and Mozilla’s Spider Monkey powers Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
Here’s what we know so far: Angular 4 is released, the ES2020 edition is planned for mid-2020, and the Bootstrap release should be anticipated this year as well. JavaScript was named one of the best programming languages to learn in 2020 by IBM.
Efficiency: Projects that used to take months and hundreds of lines of code now can be achieved much faster with well-structured pre-built patterns, libraries, and functions.
Security: Applications developed using JavaScript frameworks have firm security arrangements and are supported by large communities where members and users also act as testers.
Cost: Most of the frameworks are open-source and free. Since they help programmers to develop custom solutions faster, which lowers the web development cost.
With a multitude of advantages of using JavaScript frameworks. Let's check the JavaScript frameworks most ideal for 2020:
Angular
AngularJS is mainly known as an MVW (Model-View-Whatever) framework and is among the top benefits, for startups and mid-sized companies. AngularJS is largely utilized as a part of building exceedingly robust and adaptable single-page applications (SPA).
Single-page application structure is composed in JavaScript and allows utilizing HTML as a template language. It helps to develop quick code, easy testing of any app part, and two-way data binding where changes made in the backend are immediately reflected in the UI.
It assembles rich and natural web applications and AngularJS Framework has gained an extraordinary admiration for itself, which has made it very popular among the AngularJS developers.
It can build web applications like no other. With a rapid development pace, easy code integration, and readiness for unit testing AngulatJS can certainly be your choice for your next project.
The best way to kick-start an app or MVP is by using AngularJS. With the rising popularity and more features coming to the core, the Angular team decided to rewrite the original framework, introducing Angular 2.
Some even say Angular 2 and AngularJS share only one thing: the name. There is a migration path (called ng-upgrade) from AngularJS to Angular 2. However, Angular 2 is still a brand-new framework sharing only some concepts of its predecessor.

React.js is rightly considered the fastest-growing JS framework, there are thousands of contributors available on GitHub. In the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern React.js acts as “V” and can be smoothly integrated with any architecture.
It is based on the concept of DOM manipulation which is a costly operation and needs to be minimized. It additionally acknowledges that optimizing DOM manipulation by hand will end in lots of boilerplate code, which is error-prone, boring, and repetitive.
Despite the fact that React has a higher learning curve, a simple flow of data, coupled with dead simple display logic, makes App development with ReactJS straightforward and simple to understand. It can be a perfect fit for complex, high-load, and awesome software solutions.
Webix is an easy-to-use and time-saving tool for web UI programming and web business application development. The key point of this framework is the number (100+) of ready-made UI widgets with a nice design.
Currently, Webix JavaScript Frameworks is the best framework for prototyping and high-speed web development. From the technical side, Webix offers two products: component library and microframework (Webix Jet) for better web layout organization.
Webix was released in July 2013. Their team works hard and brings new major versions each year. There is a free open-source version and a commercial license with several extra products, features, and support services.
The most useful extras are complex widgets, and single-page applications focused on current business purposes: File Manager, User Manager, Kanban Board, Pivot Table, Spreadsheet, Document Manager, Scheduler, and Report Manager.
Detailed documentation, code examples, and a library of templates help to explore this product and speed up the development process significantly.
Vue.js is a library preferred for developing web interfaces. Vue.js is a Simple, minimal core with an incrementally adoptable that can handle any applications of various scales. Vue 2.0 was also introduced in 2016 which took the best from EmberJS, React.js, and Angular, putting all into a single makes it a handy package.
Vue.js proves to be faster when compared to React and Angular 2.0. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering dynamic single-page applications when used in combination with modern tools and supporting libraries.
If you’ve come across any of the websites like laravel.com, gitlab.com, and laracast.com then you’ve already come across and used Vue.js on the Web.
Meteor is not just a JavaScript library it is a full-stack solution that contains front-end libraries, a Node.js-based server, and a command-line tool. Meteor is among the most popular JavaScript frameworks that come affluent with tons of features for back-end development, front-end rendering, database management, and business logic since its release in 2012.
This full-stack platform enables fast development of end-to-end web and mobile applications in pure JavaScript. Due to the modular structure, all the packages and libraries can be used at pace. In terms of performance, all the changes in the database are immediately transmitted to the UI and conversely with no evident time losses caused by different languages or server response time.
MeteorJS meets all the phases of the software development life cycle and takes care of old processes like linking file concatenation, and others. We never have to link files with the <script> tags in HTML.
Meteors have a command-line tool that automatically collects JavaScript or CSS files in our library folder and links them to the index.html file, which is served to clients while the page loads for the first time. This makes structuring code in separate files as easy as creating them.
Node is not a framework it's a platform, or a runtime environment but enormously popular and growing in 2017 in terms of its community, opportunities, and versatility. It is one of the most popular JavaScript-driven technologies nowadays
It was developed in 2009 by Ryan Dahl and since then, the framework has evolved into a well-developed ecosystem. Its package manager is full of useful modules and developers around the globe have started using it in their Node JS development environments.
Node is a runtime (with some bonus features) that lets you create bare-bones web servers in JavaScript - but you can add huge amounts of functionality on top of Node with modules. So, in reality, you will use Node with some web application frameworks like Express/Hapi/Koa and much more.
These frameworks and libraries have been updated, which helps JavaScript collaborate with HTML and CSS to compile views in browsers and native platforms. Choosing the best JavaScript frameworks is not about features that each can offer.
Java Scripts frameworks are the most preferred when it comes to rapid Web Application Development and prototyping and in 2017 it won’t become an exception. It depends on initial company goals, project requirements, general framework functionality, and how it can be applied in each particular case.
