Rendering Model
- astro:
Astro uses an island architecture, rendering static HTML by default and allowing interactive components to be hydrated only when needed. This approach minimizes JavaScript usage and improves performance, making it ideal for static and semi-dynamic sites.
- vike:
Vike supports server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side rendering (CSR) with a focus on simplicity and type safety. It provides a straightforward approach to rendering components and managing data, making it easy for developers to understand and use.
- remix:
Remix focuses on server-side rendering (SSR) with support for static site generation (SSG) and client-side rendering (CSR) as needed. It optimizes data fetching at the route level, allowing for more efficient rendering and better performance for dynamic applications.
Routing
- astro:
Astro has a file-based routing system that is simple and intuitive. Routes are created by adding files to the
src/pagesdirectory, and dynamic routes can be created using a straightforward naming convention. - vike:
Vike features a simple and intuitive routing system that emphasizes type safety. It allows developers to define routes using a declarative API, making it easy to understand and maintain route configurations.
- remix:
Remix offers a powerful nested routing system that allows for more complex and flexible route structures. It enables developers to define routes within routes, making it easier to manage data loading and rendering at different levels of the application.
Data Fetching
- astro:
Astro allows data fetching at the component level using
getStaticPropsandgetServerSideProps-like functions, but it does not have a built-in data fetching mechanism. Developers can use any method they prefer, giving them flexibility in how they handle data. - vike:
Vike supports data fetching through a simple API that encourages type-safe interactions with data. It allows developers to fetch data at the component level and provides utilities for managing loading and error states.
- remix:
Remix provides a robust data fetching API that integrates seamlessly with its routing system. It allows for nested data fetching, which means that each route can fetch its own data independently, leading to more efficient and organized data loading.
Type Safety
- astro:
Astro provides basic type safety, especially when using TypeScript. However, since it is primarily a static site generator, it does not enforce strict type safety in the same way that some frameworks do.
- vike:
Vike prioritizes type safety and is designed with TypeScript in mind. It provides strong typing for its routing and data fetching APIs, making it easier for developers to work with types and reducing the likelihood of runtime errors.
- remix:
Remix has good TypeScript support and encourages type safety, particularly in its data fetching and routing APIs. It allows developers to define types for their routes and data, promoting better type safety throughout the application.
Ease of Use: Code Examples
- astro:
Astro Example
--- // src/pages/index.astro const title = 'Hello, Astro!'; --- <html> <head> <title>{title}</title> </head> <body> <h1>{title}</h1> <p>This is a static site built with Astro.</p> </body> </html> - vike:
Vike Example
// src/routes/index.js export default function Home() { return <h1>Welcome to Vike!</h1>; } - remix:
Remix Example
// app/routes/index.jsx export function loader() { return fetch('/api/data'); } export default function Index() { const data = useLoaderData(); return <div>{data}</div>; }
