Front-End Development in 2022

Front-End development often doesn’t receive the respect and importance that maybe Back-End Development receives. Back in the day Engineers used to look down on JavaScript but things have changed a lot in the recent times. 2022 is going to be a big year for Front-End Development. Let’s see what frontend is going to be like in 2022.

Rise of Svelte

Svelte is a new tool, in theory it started too late to be able to deal with React, Vue, and Angular. But it is slowly gaining momentum with unprecedented speed.
In 2021, StackOverflow users declared it the most popular framework.
But Svelte is more than that. It is a compiler that creates an advanced front end.
Svelte is not imported into the app like other popular frameworks. Instead, the code written in Svelte is integrated into pure JavaScript. This allows Svelte to win faster compared to bands like React or Vue.

Revival of Static Websites

Data Storage without database? Well! Static websites does that easily . So if you are hiring any of the full stack developers, they do not need a back-end developer to build a standalone website. But the question is why the idea of ​​a static website is coming back as a new Front-end practice? This is because standing websites are cheaper to upgrade, and at the same time, safer, faster, and more powerful.

JAMstack

JAMstack (JavaScript, API, and Markup), a software architecture that works with advanced features to create secure, fast, and scalable web applications. Also, Provides tools to improve workflow, performance and increase productivity for previous developers.

Every day, a lot of developers and businesses use this effective method to build websites and applications. According to a survey, it saw an increase in site performance and improved google SEO by 8 times, which also led to improved ROI.

Artificial Intelligence and Front-End

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to amaze us as technology advances, and the front-end business is no different. AI simplifies the most important steps in website and application development: it can manage construction, coding with self-study algorithms, automated testing, and QA functions, leaving more time for engineers to focus on more advanced tasks. I predict many websites and applications built using AI technology in the future.

AI Chatboxes

Talking further about Artificial Intelligence, another thing that will potentially peak in 2022 is AI based chatboxes to improve user experience. With AI technology being able to understand human language it is going to be really smooth. AI based chatbots are really something to look forward for in 2022.

Progressive Web Apps

Recent research shows that most people spend at least 1-3 hours a day using their mobile devices. It is also proven that more than 60% of people use their cell phones instead of using a portable computer or desktop. So if you want to meet the needs of a modern user, you should hire a web development company that can create easy-to-use web applications. To make this task easier, Progressive web applications go through a very advanced development phase during fast loading, there is no need for the internet connection to work properly, and the development of in-depth user information.

My Say

The future is bright for front-end development and it is going to be that way for a while now. Though the trends will change in 2022 most things will stay the same as well. Conventional Front-End Development isn’t going to be hurt by the advancements in Technology. Me and my team has also contributed in making front-end development better.
