Lesser known JavaScript frameworks!

To put it simply:
-JavaScript is the programming language of HTML and the Web.
-JavaScript is easy to learn.

And a JavaScript framework is an application framework written in JavaScript where the programmers can manipulate the functions and use them for their convenience.
So here are a few lesser known JavaScript frameworks (opinion!) that you should check out.

Why should i need to know it? The yearly average on js world is a Framework/library released every 10min, there are nice things and there are garbage as expected. No one would mean to start a project with any of those as considered legacy nowadays. I really expected to see Svelte.js, Preact and CSS Houdini here, not a list of legacy frameworks and libraries (almost all) that were replaced by other yet more effective: react native for native apps with html css and js, angular, react, preact, svelte for MVVM or SPA and so on

Surely this was posted somewhere in 2015 and just now made it here. I don't have any other explanations for this (outdated) list...

Yeah, the list is old, that's why I mentioned that these are lesser known frameworks.
Although, I didn't make a new cover image for this post ( coz of laziness maybe ) which has lead to the confusion.
Apologies!

Hey,
I understand your concern and why you may have not liked it. My title & cover picture is misleading ( I didn't bother to make new one for this post, will change it now) . Although I did mention in the beginning that these are lesser known frameworks.
Your statement is valid.
I will definitely make a post for the most popular / new frameworks for JavaScript .
