Knockout: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. It uses the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern to simplify dynamic JavaScript UIs by providing a clear separation between the data model, UI components, and business logic. Knockout offers declarative bindings, automatic UI updates, dependency tracking, and templating capabilities, making it easier to build complex web applications.
Compared to other front-end frameworks like React or Angular, Knockout is lightweight and focuses specifically on data binding and UI interactions. It is actively maintained and has a dedicated community, but its popularity has decreased over time with the rise of more modern alternatives.
