Ignite UI vs Inferno: What are the differences?

Developers describe Ignite UI as "JavaScript UI for Modern Web App Development- full support for AngularJS, KnockoutJS, Microsoft MVC, Boostrap, Ionic, Onsen and more". HTML & JavaScript toolkit to build modern browser experiences on any device – desktop, tablet or phone. Designed for the enterprise - high-performance, touch-first, responsive apps – with AngularJS directives, Bootstrap support and ASP.NET MVC server-side wrappers. On the other hand, Inferno is detailed as "A fast, React-like JavaScript library for building UIs". Inferno is an isomorphic library for building high-performance user interfaces, which is crucial when targeting mobile devices. Unlike typical virtual DOM libraries like React, Mithril, Virtual-dom, Snabbdom and Om, Inferno uses techniques to separate static and dynamic content. This allows Inferno to only "diff" renders that have dynamic values.

Ignite UI and Inferno belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Ignite UI are:

• Data Grid
• Hierarchical Data Grid
• Tree Grid

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

• One of the fastest front-end frameworks for rendering UI in the DOM
• Components have a similar API to React ES2015 components with inferno-component
• Stateless components are fully supported and have more usability thanks to Inferno's hooks system
