help Inferno FAQ
How does Inferno differ from React if my application already uses JSX?
Inferno is a separate JavaScript UI library with React-like APIs and a virtual DOM. JSX can be compiled for Inferno, but not every React package or assumption is automatically compatible.
Does Inferno use a virtual DOM for rendering?
Yes. Inferno uses virtual-DOM rendering and focuses on efficient updates, which is central to its performance-oriented design.
What is inferno-compat used for?
inferno-compat provides a compatibility layer for code written against React-style APIs. It can ease migration, but application-specific libraries should still be tested rather than assumed to work unchanged.
When would a developer choose Inferno instead of React?
Inferno is aimed at developers who value a small library footprint and fast rendering. React generally offers a larger ecosystem, so the choice should be based on measured application performance and package compatibility.
