Flux vs jQuery UI: What are the differences?

Developers describe Flux as "Application Architecture for Building User Interfaces". Flux is the application architecture that Facebook uses for building client-side web applications. It complements React's composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. It's more of a pattern rather than a formal framework, and you can start using Flux immediately without a lot of new code. On the other hand, jQuery UI is detailed as "Curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library". Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.

Flux and jQuery UI can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.

"Unidirectional data flow" is the top reason why over 43 developers like Flux, while over 213 developers mention "Ui components" as the leading cause for choosing jQuery UI.

Flux and jQuery UI are both open source tools. Flux with 16.2K GitHub stars and 3.62K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than jQuery UI with 10.7K GitHub stars and 5.06K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, jQuery UI has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1896 company stacks & 574 developers stacks; compared to Flux, which is listed in 67 company stacks and 29 developer stacks.
