The State of JS 2021: Libraries

Libraries

Link to sectionChanges Over Time
@pwim

Each line goes from 2016 to 2020. A higher point means a technology has been used by more people, and a point further to the right means more users want to learn it; or have used it and would use it again.

Legend

Rising popularity

Falling popularity

Some lines skip years.
Technologies with only one year of data are not shown.
Velocity formula = (most recent opinion - oldest opinion) + (most recent usage) - (oldest usage)
A positive velocity means the usage and/or positive opinions have increased over time.

This chart shows each technology's retention ratio over its total user count. It can be divided into four quadrants:

1: Low usage, high retention. Technologies worth keeping an eye on.
2: High usage, high retention. Safe technologies to adopt.
3: Low usage, low retention. Technologies that are harder to recommend currently.
4: High usage, low retention. Reassess these technologies if you're currently using them.
