Modernizr vs Prism: What are the differences?
Developers describe Modernizr as "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. On the other hand, Prism is detailed as "An extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards". It is a lightweight, beautiful and extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind. It’s used in thousands of websites, including some of those you visit daily.
Modernizr belongs to "JavaScript Compilers" category of the tech stack, while Prism can be primarily classified under "Javascript Utilities & Libraries".
Some of the features offered by Modernizr are:
- Easy to deliver tiered experiences
- Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
- Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.
On the other hand, Prism provides the following key features:
- Dead simple
- Intuitive
- Light as a feather
