What are these?
React is an open-source front end, Javascript library for building user interfaces or UI components. It gives users the ability to make user interfaces. Theses interfaces are very easy to create and have many options on how they look and work. Overall this lets us compose complex UIs from small pieces of code.
LitElement allows users to create fast web components that work in any web page with any framework. It is a fast way to make web components that can used in many environments. LitElement defiantly doesn't have the same customization as React. React has a very wide range of capabilities.
What's Similar and What's Different?
The main difference between the two is that React has a framework background while LitElement is a Library. A framework calls the code itself and is a compilation of libraries. In LitElement the code is reused. The main similarity is that the code for both framework and library are written by someone else that is used to defeat common problems. But a library gives you the most of the control and allows you to pick and choose what you want to use. For a framework you have limited choices. When using a library you are the one in charge of the flow of the application. You are making the decisions on when to call the library. When using a framework, the framework is the one in charge of the flow. It lets you put in your code but still calls the code. There really isn't a better one to use. It really falls on the user to pick what they like and what level of control they need.
This image above really demonstrations the difference.
In summary, one isn't better than the other. They both have their own positives and negatives. Like I stated earlier its up to the user to pick what they like and how they want to set up their own UIs. Thank you!
