Comparison of Server-Side Rendering Capabilities of React and Vue

Abstract

This thesis explores and compares the server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities of two popular front-end frameworks, React and Vue. The objective of this study is to provide insights and recommendations for developers and organizations in choosing the most suitable server-side rendering framework based on their requirements, resources, and goals. This research is based on a qualitative methodology, including a literature review and interviews with web developers and organizations. The results indicate that React is more popular than Vue in the development community and that component-based design has become the norm for contemporary web development. Although SSR can provide advantages such as enhanced SEO and quicker initial page loads, its implementation can be challenging and time-consuming. The findings suggest that SSR should be employed based on project requirements and resources, and organizations should carefully consider the benefits and challenges before deciding to use SSR. This study also highlights the significance of version control systems in software development and underscores the importance of component based design in modern web development. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge on SSR capabilities of React and Vue, providing valuable insights for developers and organizations to make informed decisions when selecting the appropriate framework for their web development projects.
