Express
OpenJS Foundation
Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is quick and easy. Express provides a thin layer of fundamental web application features, without obscuring Node.js features that you know and love. Express has no notion of a database. This concept is left up to third-party Node modules, allowing you to interface with nearly any database. In Express, 404 responses are not the result of an error, so the error-handler middleware will not capture them. This behavior is because a 404 response simply indicates the absence of additional work to do; in other words, Express has executed all middleware functions and routes, and found that none of them responded.Starting Price: Free -

Backbone.js
Backbone.js
Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface. When working on a web application that involves a lot of JavaScript, one of the first things you learn is to stop tying your data to the DOM. It's all too easy to create JavaScript applications that end up as tangled piles of jQuery selectors and callbacks, all trying frantically to keep data in sync between the HTML UI, your JavaScript logic, and the database on your server. For rich client-side applications, a more structured approach is often helpful. With Backbone, you represent your data as Models, which can be created, validated, destroyed, and saved to the server.Starting Price: Free -

Animate on scroll library. In order to make it work, you'll have to make sure your build process has configured styles loader and bundles it all correctly. If you're using Parcel, however, it will work out of the box as provided. AOS object is exposed as a global variable, for now, there are three methods available. Initialize AOS, recalculate all offsets and positions of elements (called on window resize), reinitiate the array with AOS elements, and trigger refresh (called on DOM changes that are related to AOS elements). By default, AOS is watching for DOM changes and if there are any new elements loaded asynchronously or when something is removed from DOM it calls refreshHard automatically. In browsers that don't support MutationObserver like IE, you might need to call it by yourself. You can also tell AOS to trigger a custom event on a specific element. You can also add custom animations.Starting Price: Free

Bideo.js
Bideo.js
Bideo.js is a JS library that makes it super easy to add fullscreen background videos. Fullscreen HTML5 background video for the web. Want to play a video in the background of a container or body itself? This plugin will help you do exactly that. The video element in use will automatically adapt to the container's dimensions. It will also resize as the browser window resizes. The plugin doesn't support any overlay as it is easy to implement that with plain HTML/CSS in your code. Video might take a few seconds to load, especially because the sources are added via JS which is something you'll load after the DOM's loading. Until then, you may want to show a video cover, which will be the same as the first frame or the video (or some other image). The support for this is not in the plugin as it's fairly simple to achieve this via just HTML/CSS (just like overlays).Starting Price: Free -

Preact
Preact
Preact provides the thinnest possible Virtual DOM abstraction on top of the DOM. It builds on stable platform features, registers real event handlers and plays nicely with other libraries. Most UI frameworks are large enough to be the majority of an app's JavaScript size. Preact is different: it's small enough that your code is the largest part of your application. That means less JavaScript to download, parse and execute - leaving more time for your code, so you can build an experience you define without fighting to keep a framework under control. Preact is fast, and not just because of its size. It's one of the fastest Virtual DOM libraries out there, thanks to a simple and predictable diff implementation. We automatically batch updates and tune Preact to the extreme when it comes to performance. We work closely with browser engineers to get the maximum performance possible out of Preact.Starting Price: Free -

Alpine.js
Alpine.js
Alpine is a rugged, minimal tool for composing behavior directly in your markup. Think of it like jQuery for the modern web. Plop in a script tag and get going. Declare a new Alpine component and its data for a block of HTML. Dynamically set HTML attributes on an element. Prevent a block of HTML from being initialized by Alpine. Hide a block of HTML until after Alpine is finished initializing its contents. Reference elements directly by their specified keys using the magic property. Execute a script each time one of its dependencies change. Run code when an element is initialized by Alpine.Starting Price: Free -

It works efficiently across all major desktop and mobile platforms, can be extended with lots of plugins, has a beautiful, easy-to-use, and well-documented API, and a simple, readable source code that is a joy to contribute to. Leaflet doesn't try to do everything for everyone. Instead, it focuses on making the basic things work perfectly. Hardware acceleration on mobile makes it feel as smooth as native apps. Utilizing CSS3 features to make panning and zooming really smooth. Smart polyline/polygon rendering with dynamic clipping and simplification makes it very fast. The modular build system for leaving out features you don't need. Tap delay elimination on mobile.Starting Price: Free -

Multiple.js
Multiple.js
An experiment in sharing background across multiple elements using CSS. If you want to accomplish a "background sharing across multiple elements" effect in HTML/CSS without any coordinates processing by JavaScript, Multiple.js is the answer. Note that icons and text at lighter layers have gradient-color from darker layers, creating the illusion of an underlying violet layer. In addition to that, layers pass the background image (girl) with equal transparency so that layers can not be superimposed on each other. All these things can be implemented in CSS. Add a gap between elements to make sure that the background remains in the same position. Toggle background image/gradient to get idea how it looks. Miss random layers to make sure that elements are independent. Expands background to viewport's size and displays in every element appropriate chunk, exactly what is needed! Background can be successfully expanded to full viewport size.Starting Price: Free -

Moment.js
Moment.js
A JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. Moment was designed to work both in the browser and in Node.js. All code should work in both of these environments, and all unit tests are run in both of these environments. Moment.js has been successfully used in millions of projects. As of September 2020, Moment gets over 12 million downloads per week! Moment has evolved somewhat over the years, but it has essentially the same design as it did when it was created in 2011. Moment works well on Internet Explorer 8 and higher. Some libraries are split into modules, plugins, or companion libraries. Some libraries use the ECMAScript Intl API for locales, time zones, or both. Some libraries still provide their own locale and time zone files as Moment and Moment-Timezone do. Because different locales define week of year numbering differently, Moment.js added options to get/set the localized week of the year.Starting Price: Free -
21
ASP.NET Core
Microsoft
Millions of developers use or have used ASP.NET 4.x to create web apps. ASP.NET Core is a redesign of ASP.NET 4.x, including architectural changes that result in a leaner, more modular framework. ASP.NET Core 3.x and later can only target .NET Core. Generally, ASP.NET Core is composed of .NET Standard libraries. Libraries written with .NET Standard 2.0 run on any .NET platform that implements .NET Standard 2.0. There are several advantages to targeting .NET Core, and these advantages increase with each release. Tag Helpers enable server-side code to participate in creating and rendering HTML elements in Razor files. Built-in support for multiple data formats and content negotiation lets your web APIs reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices.Starting Price: Free -
22
Masonry
Masonry
Masonry is a JavaScript grid layout library. It works by placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space, sort of like a mason fitting stones in a wall. You’ve probably seen it in use all over the Internet. All sizing and styling of items is handled by your own CSS. Item sizes can be set with percentages for responsive layouts. Unloaded images can throw off Masonry layouts and cause item elements to overlap. imagesLoaded resolves this issue. imagesLoaded is a separate script you can download. You can initialize Masonry in HTML, without writing any JavaScript. All options are optional, but column width and item selection are recommended. Align items to a horizontal grid. Use element sizing for responsive layouts with percentage widths. Element sizing options allow you to control the sizing of the Masonry layout within your CSS. This is useful for responsive layouts and media queries.Starting Price: Free -

Omniscient
Omniscient
Do fast top-down rendering of views while thinking functional programming. Allow your views to be predictable, naturally separated, and composable, but still performant. Omniscient is to React as memoize is to the Fibonacci function. Functional programming for UIs. Memoization for stateless React components. Top-down rendering of components (unidirectional data flow). Favors immutable data (with Immutable.js). Encourages small, composable components, and shared functionality through mixins. Natural separation of concern. Components only deal with their own piece of data. Efficient and centrally defined. In its simplest form, an Omniscient component is a Stateless React Component, but more optimized. Omniscient is just as much a way to think when you are building applications as a library itself. As Omniscient is wrapped in a UMD you can use it many different ways, through CommonJS, AMD, or just through the window object.Starting Price: Free -

Parsley
Parsley
Parsley, the ultimate JavaScript form validation library. Validating frontend forms has never been so powerful and easy. Like no other form validation library, simply write in English your requirements inside your form HTML tags, Parsley will do the rest! No need to write even a single JavaScript line for simple form validation. Parsley is now smarter, it automatically detects your forms' modifications and adapts its validation accordingly. Simply add, remove or edit fields, Parsley validation will follow! Parsley is shipped with more than a dozen useful validators. If not enough, use the awesome Parsley extra Ajax validator or tons of other extended validators provided by the community. Parsley strongly focuses on UI and UX. Override almost every Parsley default behavior to fit your exact needs. Still ships almost bug-free. Parsley is strongly tested and aims to work on every browser (including IE8).Starting Price: Free -
26
Popper
Popper
Positioning tooltips and popovers are difficult. Popper is here to help! Given an element, such as a button, and a tooltip element describing it, Popper will automatically put the tooltip in the right place near the button. It will position any UI element that "pops out" from the flow of your document and floats near a target element. The most common example is a tooltip, but it also includes popovers, drop-downs, and more. All of these can be generically described as a "popper" element. Click on the dots to place the tooltip. There are 12 different placements to choose from. Pure CSS poppers will not be prevented from overflowing clipping boundaries, such as the viewport. It will get partially cut off or overflows if it's near the edge since there is no dynamic positioning logic. When using Popper, your popper will always be positioned in the right place without needing manual adjustments.Starting Price: Free -
27
Three.js
Three.js
Three.js is a JavaScript 3D library. The aim of the project is to create an easy-to-use, lightweight, cross-browser, general-purpose 3D library. The current builds only include a WebGL renderer but WebGPU (experimental), SVG and CSS3D renderers are also available in the examples. To actually be able to display anything with three.js, we need three things, scene, camera, and renderer, so that we can render the scene with the camera. In addition to the WebGLRenderer, Three.js comes with a few others, often used as fallbacks for users with older browsers or for those who don't have WebGL support for some reason. Create a loop that causes the renderer to draw the scene every time the screen is refreshed (on a typical screen this means 60 times per second). Anything you want to move or change while the app is running has to go through the animate loop. You can of course call other functions from there.Starting Price: Free -
28
Solid
SolidJS
Solid stands on the shoulders of giants, particularly in React and Knockout. If you've developed using React Hooks, Solid will come naturally to you. In fact, more natural, since the Solid model is simpler, without the rules of the Hooks. Each component is executed once and it is the Hooks and bindings that are executed as many times as the dependencies are updated. Solid follows the same philosophy as React with one-way data flow, read/write segregation, and immutable interfaces. At the same time, it has a completely different implementation by dispensing with the Virtual DOM.Starting Price: Free -
29
Inferno
Inferno
Inferno doesn't have a fully synthetic event system like React does. Inferno has a partially synthetic event system, instead opting to only delegate certain events (such as `onClick`). Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes. Inferno is able to use the React Dev Tools extensions for Chrome/Firefox/etc to provide the same level of debugging experience to the Inferno user via inferno-devtools. Inferno has a partial synthetic event system, resulting in better performance via delegation of certain events. Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes.Starting Price: Free -

Screenfull.js
Screenfull.js
Simple wrapper for cross-browser usage of the JavaScript Fullscreen API, which lets you bring the page or any element into fullscreen. Smoothens out the browser implementation differences, so you don't have to. If you cannot use ESM or need to support older browsers without using transpilation, use version 5.2.0. Only 0.7 kB gzipped. Also available on cdnjs (older version). Safari is supported on desktops and iPad, but not on iPhones. This is a limitation in the browser, not in Screenfull. Fullscreen the page or fullscreen an element. Hide the navigation user interface on mobile devices. Fullscreen an element with jQuery and toggle fullscreen on an image with jQuery. Detect fullscreen change, remove listeners, detect fullscreen errors, and fullscreen elements with Angular.js. Keep in mind that the browser will only enter fullscreen when initiated by user events like click, touch, or key.Starting Price: Free
