The popularity of JavaScript continues to grow. In 2017, IBM called it one of the most promising multi-paradigm programming languages of modern times. JavaScript is used both on the client- and server-side, helping to create simple and convenient interfaces and has extremely broad functionality. Besides, its field of use isn’t strictly limited. You can use JS for PC, mobile, and even server applications.
The work of developers becomes much easier thanks to JavaScript frameworks (sets of JS code libraries). These are templates created to solve the most common programming tasks. JavaScript frameworks let developers forget about routine actions, save time, and use ready-made optimal code for typical programming needs.
It’s important to understand the difference between JavaScript frameworks and JavaScript libraries. Frameworks are a skeleton, a template that restricts the architecture of the created application. Developers expand this basis but are only guided by the definite rules for Javascript frameworks. The libraries don’t have such limitations.
A borderline between JavaScript frameworks and JavaScript libraries is quite shaky. If a JS library develops, starts solving abstract tasks, and influences the coding style, it becomes a JavaScript framework.
Here are the benefits of Javascript frameworks:
- Effectiveness: Templates make the development process more efficient.
- Security. Popular Javascript frameworks have decent security mechanisms. They are supported by large IT communities, whose members often contribute as free testers.
- Cost-effectiveness. The development cost is lower. Many Javascript frameworks are free and save the time of application developers reducing expenditures.
The popularity of Javascript frameworks won’t necessarily last forever. For instance, Angular JS actively grew from 2013 to 2015 and then stagnated at the achieved level. Below there is a list of Javascript frameworks included in this overview. We’ll provide a brief statistics analysis for each of them. Note that this isn’t a rating of frameworks.

JS Framework Angular JS
Angular JS framework was created in 2009 to develop single-page applications. It doesn’t require much experience, so even a newbie can write the first simple applications after a few hours of mastering Angular JS.
In 2014, developers announced the creation of Angular JS 2.0. Yet, there were so many deep changes that in 2016, a new Angular framework appeared. However, the angular JS framework continued to develop independently, partially explaining the slowdown in its popularity growth after 2016.
Angular JS popularity based on Google Trends data
This JavaScript framework started growing in popularity in 2012. The rapid growth happened between 2015 and 2016. After that, the period of stagnation has started with a slight decrease in demand.
The statistics of the US show a 5 year period of growing interest in the JavaScript framework. Since 2015, the Angular JS demand has remained at the same level with no considerable fluctuations.
India shows similar tendencies. After an active growth, the popularity has stopped at the same level, and a small part of the audience was lost.
In the United Kingdom, Angular JS repeats its fate. If you look at the graph, you’ll notice how a 2-year popularity decline follows the rapid growth. It’s a typical cycle for any framework.
When a new technology appears, developers test it for 1.5-2 years. After that, they sometimes return to old technologies. This explains the peaks on the graph.
Keyword analysis based on Google Ads Keywords data
Judging by the volume of Angular JS search requests, we may conclude that the interest in this framework stays at the same level. The search query volume has slightly increased compared to the start of the analyzed period.
Most search requests were made in the US and India – these countries decisively take the lead. On the other hand, Germany and France together account for 7.9% of the total number of search queries related to the JavaScript framework, Brazil – 3.3%, and 52.6% – the rest of the world.
Linkbase and the number of references on the web
In total, the website of Angular JS developers is referenced by 20,772 domains. The number of backlinks reaches 1.81 million, most of which place a dofollow link. The other types account for only 9% of the entire linkmass.
There are world-renowned social networks, information portals, and services among the domains with the highest domain ratings, such as youtube.com, linkedin.com, reddit.com, etc.
JavaScript Framework Angular JS is mentioned 6.82 million times on the web.
JS Framework Aurelia JS
This JavaScript framework is a brainchild of Rob Eisenberg, the creator of Caliburn. Micro and Durandal used to be popular. Rob was a part of the Angular team, but they failed to find common ground. That’s why he split and started working on his own framework. That’s how the story of Aurelia JS has started.
It is called the JavaScript framework of the next generation, ideal for web and mobile apps. Aurelia JS stands out with its compactness and unobtrusiveness. This means that specific JavaScript framework constructions almost don’t clutter your code. Moreover, it’s very convenient and helps to master Aurelia JS.
Aurelia JS popularity based on Google Trends data
The growth of Aurelia JS’s popularity started in 2014. For 2.5 years, it was attracting more and more interest until the beginning of a gradual decline in 2017. As of April 2020, the interest in the framework was approximately at the same level as immediately after its release in January 2015.
In the US, the downward trend in Aurelia JS demand isn’t as noticeable as in the previous chart. The peak was in 2015-2016. It’s a typical situation for all JavaScript frameworks. After that, developers gradually shifted attention to new products, and the interest in Aurelia JS started to fade. Yet as of summer 2018, the decline wasn’t critical.
India has a similar picture. The only difference is that the average Aurelia JS demand was about half as low as 2015-2016.
Over the past 5 years, the UK situation has reflected the tendencies in other countries: constant growth and subsequent decline in JavaScript framework popularity. The average popularity already began to shrink in 2018.
Keyword analysis based on Google Ads Keywords data
The analysis of Aurelia JS search volume in Google shows continuous growth since 2014. Such stability proves that users remain interested in Aurelia JS. This relates to both mobile and total searches.
The keyword searches have mainly been distributed among India (20.7%) and the US (17.8%). On the other hand, EU countries are represented by England (6.8%), Germany (6.7%), and France (3.2%).
Linkbase and the number of references on the web
Aurelia JS website is referenced by 1,325 domains with 27,200 backlinks. The crushing majority of them (77%) place a dofollow link.
As to the domain rating, information services and portals take the lead (e.g., youtube.com, microsoft.com, reddit.com, and more).
Aurelia JavaScript framework is mentioned 14400 times on the web. So it’s comparatively a modest number.
JS Framework Backbone.js
Backbone JS appeared in 2010 as a counterpart of heavyweight frameworks. It would be more correct to call it a library. Although Backbone JS is a lightweight solution, you’ll need to make up for the missing functionality with code or third-party plugins. Note that Backbone JS requires jQuery or its analog. Since it’s rather a library, you can use its separate parts.
JS Framework popularity based on Google Trends data
Right after the release in 2010, Backbone JS started to gain popularity. The framework reached its peak in 2013. Since 2014, the interest has been declining to drop to the level of 2010 in 2018.
In the US, the demand for Backbone JS has decreased by more than 3 times since 2014.
We can track the same trend in India. In 2018, the popularity of Backbone JS was 4 times lower than its peak value.
Again, the United Kingdom users show the same interest as Americans and Indians. Their popularity curves are very similar. The interest in the framework gradually declines with periodic peaks.
Keyword analysis based on Google Ads Keywords data
Analyzing this graph, you can observe a continuous decrease in search queries from 2015 to 2017. Besides, Backbone JS was even more rarely searched on mobile devices. In 2017, the interest in Backbone JS had rapidly grown. The number of related search queries has also increased on mobile devices.
As to the search distribution by country, the leaders are India (27.6%), the US (17.0%), Brazil (4.2%), and Japan (3.3%). From the EU countries, only France with 3% searches has got to the top.
Linkbase and the number of references on the web
6,045 domains link to Backbone JS website with 82,100 links. Out of this number, 87% are dofollow links.
In terms of domain rating, information portals and various services have maximum rates.
There are 2.12 million mentions of Backbone JS online.

The statics on India reflects the same trends. After the peak in the summer of 2015, the demand for the DHTML site framework has started to drop. Today, the DHTML site is more than 4 times less popular than when it reached its maximum.
In the United Kingdom, the downward trend is less noticeable. Moreover, although the peak values used to be higher, the decline is less abrupt than in the US and India.
Keyword analysis based on Google Ads Keywords data
The analysis of the volume of dhtmlxSuite related search queries proves the steady decline in the interest in this JavaScript framework. Besides, there was almost no activity on mobile devices.
The United States and India lead search queries with 11.3% and 8.2%, respectively. In Europe, the DHTML site is the most popular among Germans, with a 5.5% rate.
Linkbase and the number of references on the web
2499 domains include up to 145,000 links to dhtmlxSuite website. The dofollow links amount up to 72% of the total number of links.
In this case, the ratio of links to the number of domains is too large, adversely affecting the website’s domain rating.
Information portals and entertainment services have the highest domain rating among the referring resources.
DHTML site JavaScript framework is mentioned 241 thousand times on different web pages.
JS Framework Ember.js
Ember.js appeared as a result of renaming SproutCore 2.0 in December 2011. The framework is mainly used to develop client components of web applications. Ember.js is solely for the front-end. It doesn’t cover server code, although it does support different methods of interaction with backends.
With Ember.js, you can create a fully functional application without any additional tools. However, it imposes quite strict requirements as to the code of a project, so it’s better to use this framework from the very start.
Ember JS popularity based on Google Trends data
The demand for Ember.js appeared immediately after its appearance in 2011. It reached the peak of popularity in 2017, after which the interest has started to decline.
In the US, the downward popularity trend isn’t that noticeable. This is because Ember.js has remained popular for a long period.
In India, the situation is similar to the US, but the popularity decrease is more rapid. Indian users expressed maximum interest in Ember.js in 2015 and 2016.
In the United Kingdom, Ember.js is still widely used. There is a popularity decline but very minor.

JS Framework jQuery
Released in 2006 by John Resig, JQuery initially was a library that remains popular despite its age. It has excellent cross-platform capabilities and allows developers to avoid adapting code to different browsers.
JQuery makes code more compact since one JQuery function can substitute several lines of code. This speeds up the coding process making it simpler and more convenient.
JQuery popularity based on Google Trends data
JQuery was gaining popularity from 2007 to the end of 2012. After that, the demand for the JavaScript framework has gradually started to decrease. The demand was still falling in 2020.
In the US, the interest in JQuery has been rapidly falling for the last 5 years.
In India, the popularity of this framework has decreased by more than 4 times since 2014. The overall picture is similar to the US.

They have the same ideology, and both are used to create dynamic web applications. However, knockout JS extends the HTML syntax and allows the creative brief and succinct descriptions for the developed app. The library was released in 2010.
Its key feature is interfaced change tracking and automatic synchronization of the data source in case of changes.
Knockout JS popularity based on Google Trends data
Knockout JS started to gain popularity in 2011. It reached its peak in 2014 with a subsequent gradual decrease in interest.
In the US, the interest in Knockout JS was rapidly falling until 2016. However, after that, the declining trend has slowed down.

Meteor JS popularity based on Google Trends data
In 2012, Meteor JS started to gain popularity rapidly. Having reached its peak in 2016, the interest in this technology has begun to fall. The decline was pretty sharp.
In the US, Meteor JS had maximum popularity during 2015. However, in 2016, the demand for this JavaScript framework lowered, preserving the downward trend.
In India, the popularity of the framework was also rapidly growing in 2015. Yet, it was a short-term trend, and in 2016, the situation stabilized. However, since then, the interest in Meteor JS has been steadily decreasing.
In the United Kingdom, the decline wasn’t that dramatic, but the average rates have also decreased.
Keyword analysis based on Google Ads Keywords data
