Polymer vs Bootstrap Vue: What are the differences?

Developers describe Polymer as "A new library built on top of Web Components, designed to leverage the evolving web platform on modern browsers". Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently only available in JS libraries. Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including Shadow DOM, Custom Elements and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as polyfills or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform code that drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds. On the other hand, Bootstrap Vue is detailed as "A front end CSS And Vue component library". Build responsive, mobile-first projects on the web using Vue.js and the world's most popular front-end CSS library — Bootstrap V4.

Polymer and Bootstrap Vue can be categorized as "Front-End Frameworks" tools.

Polymer and Bootstrap Vue are both open source tools. It seems that Polymer with 21.3K GitHub stars and 2.02K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Bootstrap Vue with 10.1K GitHub stars and 1.36K GitHub forks.
