Uma análise comparativa de frameworks de desenvolvimento web

Abstract

Developing modern web applications requires the careful selection of frameworks that balance performance, productivity, and accessibility. Given the widespread adoption of React, React, and Vue, this work aims to compare these frameworks along two fundamental dimensions: learning curve and technical performance. The learning curve was assessed through a logbook that recorded the author’s experience during implementation, considering criteria such as documentation clarity, initial setup complexity, code verbosity, and development time. In parallel, a To-do List application was developed using each technology, using a controlled environment to measure startup time, memory, and CPU usage. The results indicate that React presented the best overall performance, with low resource consumption and fast startup, while Vue excelled in the learning curve, thanks to its clear documentation, support in Portuguese, and simple setup. React, in turn, showed high resource consumption and a steeper learning curve, despite its robustness. We conclude that the selection of framework should take into account the project context and team profile, with Vue being more suitable for beginners, React for agile projects, and React for large-scale enterprise systems. This study contributes a practical and comparative analysis that can guide decisions in academic and educational settings.
