A "progressive framework" is an approach to software framework development that aims for flexibility and gradual adaptation. Progressive frameworks allow developers to use only the parts of the framework they need and extend or customize them as needed. This approach is in contrast to monolithic frameworks, which often provide a large code base and many features, many of which may not be needed.
A good example of a progressive framework is Vue.js. Vue.js allows developers to add features incrementally, from using simple templates and components to integrating routing, state management, and other advanced features.
The advantages of progressive frameworks are:
Flexibility: Developers can choose the parts of the framework that meet their needs instead of incurring unnecessary overhead.
Lightweight: Progressive frameworks tend to use less storage space and resources than monolithic alternatives.
Quick start: They enable a quick start and allow developers to concentrate on the essentials.
Extensibility: As requirements change, developers can extend the framework to meet their new needs.
So, why is react not called as such a framework?
ReactJS is not a framework, but “just” a library for handling the user interface. A framework like VUE or Angular has an all-in-one basis; an http client, a router, usually a fixed code structure and so on.
In ReactJS you can structure your code however you want. You will need to install third-party routing and HTTP client packages or write your own.
All frameworks (or libraries) can be extended (progressively), but a framework has a lot of extras on board, so to speak.
