Fabric.js vs Modernizr: What are the differences?

What is Fabric.js? The easiest way to work with HTML5 canvas. It provides interactive object model on top of canvas element. Fabric also has SVG-to-canvas (and canvas-to-SVG) parser. Using Fabric.js, you can create and populate objects on canvas; objects like simple geometrical shapes.

What is Modernizr? Respond to your user’s browser features. It’s a collection of superfast tests or detects as we like to call them which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.

Fabric.js belongs to "Languages" category of the tech stack, while Modernizr can be primarily classified under "JavaScript Compilers".

Some of the features offered by Fabric.js are:

• Cross-browser Fast
• Encapsulated in one object
• No browser sniffing for critical functionality

On the other hand, Modernizr provides the following key features:

• Easy to deliver tiered experiences
• Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
• Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.
