Svelte Framework

Svelte is a modern component-based JavaScript framework for building reactive user interfaces, but with a radical approach. Departing from the traditional model of frameworks like React and Vue, which do much of their work in the user's browser, Svelte operates as a compiler that converts your declarative component code into highly optimized, imperative vanilla JavaScript during the build step. This compile-time approach eliminates the need for a Virtual DOM and ships no framework runtime to the browser, resulting in exceptionally small bundle sizes and outstanding runtime performance. Its reactivity is powered by simple JavaScript assignments, and its single-file `.svelte` components elegantly co-locate structure, styling, and logic, offering a streamlined and intuitive developer experience.
