Flight vs Prototype: What are the differences?
Flight: 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; Prototype: Prototype JavaScript framework. Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. It offers a familiar class-style OO framework, extensive Ajax support, higher-order programming constructs, and easy DOM manipulation.
Flight and Prototype can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Flight and Prototype are both open source tools. Flight with 6.64K GitHub stars and 588 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Prototype with 3.41K GitHub stars and 652 GitHub forks.
