  frameworks:
    - name: "React"
      type: "Library"
      paradigm: "Component-based, Declarative"
      key_features:
        - "Virtual DOM for efficient updates"
        - "JSX syntax for templating"
        - "Unidirectional data flow"
        - "Hooks for state and side effects"
        - "Large ecosystem (React Router, Redux, Next.js)"
      pros: "High performance with virtual DOM, massive ecosystem, flexible architecture, strong community, excellent for SPAs and mobile (React Native)."
      cons: "Steep learning curve with JSX and hooks, frequent best-practice changes, requires build tooling, boilerplate for state management."
      learning_curve: "Moderate to High"
      use_case: "Large-scale SPAs, complex UIs, mobile apps via React Native, SSR with Next.js."
      ecosystem_notes: "Meta-maintained. Industry standard with extensive third-party libraries, tools, and job market dominance."
    - name: "Vue"
      type: "Framework"
      paradigm: "Progressive, Component-based"
      key_features:
        - "Approachable with HTML-based templates"
        - "Reactive data binding"
        - "Composition API and Options API"
        - "Single-file components (.vue files)"
        - "Vue Router and Vuex/Pinia for state"
      pros: "Gentle learning curve, excellent documentation, flexible progressive adoption, good performance, balanced features."
      cons: "Smaller ecosystem than React, enterprise adoption lower than Angular/React, ecosystem fragmentation between Options and Composition API."
      learning_curve: "Low to Moderate"
      use_case: "Startups,中小型应用, gradual adoption in existing projects, rapid prototyping."
      ecosystem_notes: "Community-driven ( Evan You ). Officially supported tools (Vue Router, Pinia, Vite integration). Growing in Asia and Europe."
    - name: "Angular"
      type: "Framework"
      paradigm: "MVC / Component-based"
      key_features:
        - "TypeScript-first architecture"
        - "Two-way data binding"
        - "Dependency injection built-in"
        - "RxJS integration for reactive programming"
        - "Angular CLI for scaffolding and builds"
        - "Built-in HTTP client, forms, routing"
      pros: "Complete out-of-the-box solution, strong typing with TypeScript, excellent for large enterprise teams, long-term Google support, robust testing tools."
      cons: "Steep learning curve, verbose boilerplate, larger bundle size, rigid structure, slower adoption of newer JS features."
      learning_curve: "High"
      use_case: "Enterprise applications, large teams with structured processes, projects requiring strong typing and long-term maintainability."
      ecosystem_notes: "Google-maintained. Enterprise-focused with strong tooling (Angular Material, NG-Zorro). Used heavily in finance, government, large orgs."
    - name: "Svelte"
      type: "Compiler"
      paradigm: "Compiler-based, Declarative"
      key_features:
        - "Compiles to vanilla JS at build time (no runtime)"
        - "Truly reactive assignments (no useState)"
        - "Less boilerplate, smaller bundles"
        - "SvelteKit for full-stack apps (SSR, SSG)"
        - "Native CSS scoping per component"
      pros: "Excellent runtime performance, minimal bundle size, clean syntax, less boilerplate, great for performance-critical apps."
      cons: "Smaller ecosystem and community, fewer third-party libraries, less industry adoption, newer and less proven at massive scale."
      learning_curve: "Low to Moderate"
      use_case: "Performance-critical apps, small-to-medium projects, embedded widgets, teams prioritizing bundle size and simplicity."
      ecosystem_notes: "Community-driven with Svelte Society. Growing rapidly but still niche compared to React/Vue/Angular. SvelteKit provides full-stack capabilities."
