Startups need to keep their businesses in a constant process of innovation.

The challenge is to set low costs while building technology with a highly scalable business model.

Many good ideas go by the wayside because of execution problems.

The business of startups involves the development of applications.

On the internet of 2022, JavaScript is the dominant technology for creating web apps. Researchers in the development communities indicate that the programming language is used by two out of three professionals.

JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are the three leading web technologies

HTML defines the structure of the pages, CSS indicates the style of elements, and JavaScript composes the behavior. These three technologies emerged in less than five years between 1991 and 1996.

As of December 2021, JavaScript has completed 26 years of release. The internet is no longer formed mainly through static pages; JavaScript is the mechanic that has been used to popularize dynamic pages.

Constant bugs among different browsers marked the first decade of these tools. Web developers had more difficulties as the hardware industry offered new devices of different sizes.

JavaScript libraries and frameworks for front-end started to stand out in the development industry in the 2000s

JavaScript libraries and frameworks with time-tested codes made development easier without reinventing the wheel in every project. Web-browsing routines have many elements of similarity.

Framework and library developers themselves use frameworks and libraries to make their creations.

One of the libraries created in 2006 was YUI (Yahoo! User Interface). This tool allowed the development of applications through programming concepts such as Ajax, Dynamic HTML, and Document Object Model.

Ajax uses techniques for operating the client-side applications asynchronously. For example, applications can request data from the server without changing the page’s presentation layer.

As an extension of the YUI library, Jack Slocum created the first version of Ext JS, which had classes. Now commonly known as Sencha Ext JS, the framework offers rich and high-performing UI components with extensive backend data package. Many modern applications are developed in Ext JS.

Framework development environment makes JavaScript the most used programming language

One of the most popular JavaScript libraries is jQuery, released in 2006. The tool seeks to simplify CSS and Ajax’s HTML DOM and animation events.

Developed by a foundation, Node.js appeared in 2009 as a back-end JavaScript platform, and application development is unified in a single language.

In 2010, Google launched AngularJS. It emerged as a framework for creating applications with model-view-controller architecture.

Three years later, Facebook followed the trend and made React available. It is a front-end JavaScript library for building component UI user interfaces. It is used for single-page or mobile applications. React stood out for introducing the Virtual DOM.

These frameworks and libraries can run applications in an integrated way.

However, there are even standard integration formats; for example, the MERN Stack involves MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js.

The integrations become new libraries. Sencha has an ExtAngular and an ExtReact version.

The integrated ecosystem using JavaScript makes it attractive for businesses

The startup entrepreneur community has favorably received the isomorphic nature of JavaScript.

Frameworks and libraries provide a full range of features for applications. Reusing components, modules, and code snippets saves time and money.

This saving of time and money is crucial to the sustainability of the startup business. The development team can test the frameworks and libraries to see what best applies to the project.

It is unnecessary to assign a team of experts to code a grid from scratch on one of the application’s pages. Buttons, graphics, and calendars are elements that can achieve originality in the project using the features available in the libraries.

UI components are laborious to develop. Web design trends change every year, and keeping up to date is a cost that startups cannot ignore. Developers are paid by the hour.

The focus of development teams is on products that will genuinely make a difference in the customer experience.

Support and documentation show which communities should maintain updates

JavaScript also becomes a logical choice because it’s on virtually a billion web pages.

It is a language designed within the functioning of web browsers. It also allows access to resources with APIs (application programming interface).

This omnipresence enables another facility for startups: hiring talent. JavaScript, HTML, and CSS have a low learning curve. The vast majority of programmers know how to work with these languages.

Many professionals are involved in creating strong communities related to these frameworks and libraries.

As a result, the support and documentation of these tools are robust. This ensures efficiency in the maintenance of the code legacy.

This collective effort makes JavaScript libraries and frameworks increasingly stable and optimized. The performance of web browsing on any platform has undergone a visible evolution for the user experience in recent years.

Demand does not show that it should reduce soon

This scenario shows that the perspective for frameworks and libraries is excellent for the coming years. The demand for JavaScript programmers doesn’t give demos that will stop growing.

In 2022, the need for web solutions will continue to increase. Startups can use JavaScript tools to propose new business solutions.

The benefits are enough to ensure a competitive presence in the disputed digital business market.

JavaScript’s leadership doesn’t see that another language will shake it anytime soon. Flexibility in its application is still the best option to start a new innovative project.

Frameworks and libraries offer a menu of options for elements such as grids and UI components that companies can avoid creating from scratch.

The solution for the new technology company may be available with just a search for documentation for existing products.
