Netty vs Highland.js: What are the differences?
What is Netty? Asynchronous event-driven network application framework. Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol servers and clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network programming such as TCP and UDP socket server.
What is Highland.js? The high-level streams library for Node.js and the browser. It manages synchronous and asynchronous code easily, using nothing more than standard JavaScript and Node-like Streams. You may be familiar with Promises, EventEmitters and callbacks, but moving between them is far from seamless.
Netty and Highland.js can be primarily classified as "Concurrency Frameworks" tools.
Netty and Highland.js are both open source tools. Netty with 20.5K GitHub stars and 9.48K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Highland.js with 3.21K GitHub stars and 158 GitHub forks.
