Vue.js is a javascript framework to build user interfaces. Vue.js is a library for building web interfaces. Vue.js is simple, minimal core with an incrementally adoptable stack that can handle apps of any scale. Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries .

Basically Vue.js let one code in an highly reusable way, create components that one can use as “html-like tags” in your page, binding data, functions and other very useful properties to every component. It has quickly overtaken React.js and jQuery in terms of popularity and it doesn’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Vue.js is truly descriptive , declarative rendering, as oppose to other frameworks/libraries. Vue.js provides a lot of fantastic features to work with DOM. Vue.js does not require webpack. Vue.js also reduces a ton of line of codes. Vue.js is really approachable and provides a little more structure on how to approach various things. Vue.js is also suitable for light-weight projects. It provides very different functionality though, namely structure and modularization. In fact, one can use JQuery and Vue.js together. Vue.js was 3rd most starred project in 2016 on GitHub. Vue is simpler, Vue.js is much easier to integrate into many frameworks like Laravel, Rails or even Django. Parsing, ajax, and data binding can be done with Vue.js. Vue is focusing on building some of the best actions in web UI development like components, declarative UI, hot-reloading, time-travel debugging and etc. Vue.js has a much less complicated learning curve in comparison with Angular 2.

APIs :: APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE

API ( Application program interface ) is a set of routines, protocols, tools for building software applications . An API specifies how software components should interact and APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. APIs often come in the form of a library that includes specifications or routines, data structures, object classes and variables. APIs can be web-based, or specific to a platform. An API is a list of commands as well as the format of those commands that one program can send to another. It is used so that individual programs can communicate with one another directly and use each other’s functions. API’s are provided by any program that allows interaction with other programs. People who write programs but wishes to use the functionality that already exist in other programs can simply look at the API documentation to find the list of commands available to them. An API can also be expressed as a set of things you can access from software that if you communicate with them properly, something will happen in a well documented way. In the context of the web, the API’s generally allow you to send commands to programs running on the servers that you connect to from your browser or with the browser itself. This allows you to access resources only available on the server. Google has APIs for search, calendars, translations, etc. Facebook and Twitter have APIs that allow software to automatically post status updates. Apple provides many APIs for building iPhone apps. UI and APIs are just ways to hide the complexity of web services.
