For mobile development, its feature includes development with Ionic, Cordova and React Native. The positive aspects of WebStorm do not end here. As for the server side, it allows working with Node.js and Meteor. And, if we are talking about developing desktop applications it works efficiently for Electron. 2. Visual Studio Code Backed by Microsoft it is free to use and supports over 40 languages. It has some of the most unique and advanced features. Some of its features include: IntelliSense: It provides smart completion based on the type of variables, imported variable, and even function definitions. Git Commands Built-in: It has built-in support for Git and many other source code management providers. The editor is extremely fast since all extension run as separate processes the work on the actual editor runs smoothly. 3. Sublime Text This IDE makes its user reject all other.

With a size of only 20KB min+gzip runtime and a blazing fast virtual DOM, it leaves many of its competitor in the dust. Vue.js provides tools for tasks like routing, animations, scaffolding and uses HTML syntax for data binding. Moving on the most important libraries for JavaScript Development. 8. React Facebook Engineers introduced react in 2011 as an open source library for JavaScript. The main advantage of using React is that rendered web pages are dynamic and high performance. Another key benefit that makes this library apart for the rest is the reusability of code. React achieve this by isolating components and thus the changes do not affect other components. For a stable code, data binding in only unidirectional and as a result, the virtual DOM works at a faster rate.
