Component vs pip: What are the differences?
Developers describe Component as "Client package management for building better web applications". Component's philosophy is the UNIX philosophy of the web - to create a platform for small, reusable components that consist of JS, CSS, HTML, images, fonts, etc. With its well-defined specs, using Component means not worrying about most frontend problems such as package management, publishing components to a registry, or creating a custom build process for every single app. On the other hand, pip is detailed as "A package installer for Python". It is the package installer for Python. You can use pip to install packages from the Python Package Index and other indexes.
Component and pip can be primarily classified as "Front End Package Manager" tools.
