About the technology

Vue.js is a lightweight frontend framework, offering easy two-way data binding, a reactive UI, and a common-sense project structure. It uses UI patterns and modern HTML to deliver impossibly fast page loads and silky smooth transitions—all from a tiny code footprint. It’s a delight to develop in Vue using ordinary JavaScript and its integrated Vuex state management tool.
