Abstract

This article is focused on comparative analysis of three frameworks to create presentation layer of application. Three analysis have been conducted on two browsers, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Code complexity, the speed of view rendering, the smoothness of working of overstretched application, the amount of sent data needed to start application and the amount of memory used by application depending on the number of elements on list was took into consideration. In research purposes TodoMVC applications made with AngularJS, Angular2 and BackboneJS were used. Conducted experiments shown that Angular2 in Google Chrome achieve the best result. BackboneJS was the winner in Mozilla Firefox.
