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.

Lighthouse, RunPartner, and Zulip are some of the popular companies that use Prototype, whereas Flight is used by Adtena, Birchbox, and Drip.

    jQuery
    jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
    React
    Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
    AngularJS
    AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
    Vue.js
    It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
    jQuery UI
    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.
