In the past decade, Javascript frameworks and libraries have taken the tech world by storm. AngularJS, (Knockout + Durandal + RequireJS), Angular, React, Vue, etc are some of the frameworks which were either widely used in the past or are currently widely used. There are many supporting libraries such as loadash, etc., which support these frameworks and make them a complete modern web development framework.
The above-mentioned frameworks have come a long way. Some, such as AngularJS, were widely used a few years ago. Knockout, Durandal, and RequireJS were also popular. In the case of AngularJS, its earlier version was entirely rewritten with major, breaking changes. Angular v2.0 onwards (as compared to AngularJS v1.x) is a huge success and is widely used to create modern web applications. Now, the criteria for selecting either Angular, React, or Vue depends on various parameters.
