Mithril, an open source JavaScript framework for single-page applications, is looking to best Facebook’s React, Google’s Angular, and Vue JavaScript tools in performance and ease of use. It reached the 1.0.0 release stage last week.
The framework is small and fast, and it provides routing and XHR (XMLHttpRequest) out of the box. Mithril also offers benefits in relative density, lead developer Leo Horie said. “It’s possible to develop entire applications without resorting to other libraries, and it’s not uncommon for Mithril apps to weigh a third of other apps of similar complexity.
