What is Million?
Million is a drop-in replacement for React with a lightweight (<1kb) Virtual DOM. It's really fast and makes it easy to create user interfaces.
Oh man... Another
/virtual dom|javascript/gimlibrary? I'm fine with React already, why should I bother switching?
Million makes creating user interfaces as easy as React, but with faster performance and smaller bundle size for the end user. By computing the user interface beforehand with a compiler, Million reduces the overhead of traditional Virtual DOM.
Okay cool... but why should I use Million if I can just use Preact if I need something a bit more lightweight?
While alternative libraries like Preact reduce bundle sizes by efficient code design, Million takes it a step further by leveraging compilation to make a quantum leap in improving bundle size and render speed.
Think of it as if React's API and Svelte's compiler had a baby. A baby with super speed! 👶🚀
