Famo.us vs Flight: What are the differences?
Developers describe Famo.us as "A JavaScript framework for everyone who wants to build beautiful experiences on any device". Famo.us is a free and open source JavaScript platform for building mobile apps and desktop experiences. What makes Famo.us unique is its JavaScript rendering engine and 3D physics engine that gives developers the power and tools to build native quality apps and animations using pure JavaScript. On the other hand, Flight is detailed as "A component-based, event-driven JavaScript framework from Twitter". Flight is distinct from existing frameworks in that it doesn't prescribe or provide any particular approach to rendering or providing data to a web application. It's agnostic to how requests are routed, which templating language you use or even if you render your HTML on the client or the server. While some web frameworks encourage developers to arrange their code around a prescribed model layer, Flight is organized around the existing DOM model with functionality mapped directly to DOM nodes.
Famo.us and Flight belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.
Famo.us and Flight are both open source tools. Flight with 6.64K GitHub stars and 588 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Famo.us with 6.48K GitHub stars and 765 GitHub forks.
