Estudo comparativo entre frameworks fronted para a criação de um progressive web app (PWA).

Abstract

With the rise of Javascript as one of the main programming languages for the Web, several frameworks have emerged to help create complex and scalable projects. A current trend is the use of the Web through mobile devices. In this context, there is an increase in the demand for lightweight applications that replace native applications. This demand resulted in a methodology that combines features offered by browsers with the advantages of using a cell phone. The Progressive Web App (PWA) is a development methodology that seeks to bring to web applications, accessed by mobile browsers, the same experience (light and responsive) experienced in native applications. Currently, there is a huge variety of libraries and frameworks, which causes doubts when making the decision to build a PWA. The objective of this work is to carry out a comparative study between three technologies, for the implementation of a PWA. For this, the same system was developed using Angular, Vue and React to collect metrics and perform analysis on their advantages and disadvantages. As the technologies follow the same paradigm, the study presents the characteristics of each one, associating these with the implementation of a PWA that consumes a Rest API. Finally, guidelines were established to help web programmers choose among the various technologies available.
