jQuery VS Derby

Derby is a framework designed for building real-time web applications with a focus on data binding and synchronization, while jQuery is a library primarily for DOM manipulation and event handling. Derby is better suited for complex applications requiring real-time data, whereas jQuery excels in simpler projects that need extensive DOM manipulation and animations.

  • Overhead for small projects
  • May lead to performance issues with large DOM manipulations

Derby

Pros:

  • Real-time data synchronization
