- Use an official full-stack meta-framework built on top of the framework for routing and data fetching
- Treat server-loaded data as reactive state and build a responsive loading UI for it using resource and suspense primitives
- Render my application on the server with streaming support to reach interactivity faster

- Rely on a compiler to translate my components into efficient, surgical DOM updates instead of writing manual diffing code
- Build encapsulated components that manage their own local state and compose them into complex UIs
- Debug my UI directly in browser devtools because the framework renders real DOM nodes
- Directly manipulate the DOM to integrate native JavaScript libraries like charting or visualization tools
- Trace state changes through explicit, predictable data flow instead of debugging implicit two-way bindings
- Declare reactive state and have only the dependent UI code re-run when it changes
- Manage global application state using built-in primitives without adding a third-party library
- Incrementally adopt the framework, scaling from a small part of a page up to a full application
- Write markup and rendering logic together in a single component using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript I already know
- Pick from a rich ecosystem of third-party pre-built UI component libraries for the framework
- Use an official first-party state management library maintained alongside the framework
- Write components using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript syntax I already know, minimizing new concepts to learn
- Read the product's source under an open license
- Ship a small, dependency-light JS bundle to minimize runtime footprint and reduce supply-chain risk
- Rely on a compiler-optimized rendering system that updates the DOM without a virtual DOM diffing step
- Build large applications that stay fast and maintainable as my team and codebase grow
