Pros of Weex

• More comprehensive framework for cross-platform development
• Larger community and ecosystem with better documentation
• Supports a wider range of native components and APIs

Cons of Weex

• Steeper learning curve due to its complexity
• Larger bundle size and potentially slower performance
• Less frequent updates and maintenance compared to Weex-UI

Code Comparison

Weex component example:

<template>
  <div>
    <text>{{ message }}</text>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      message: 'Hello, Weex!'
    }
  }
}
</script>

Weex-UI component example:

<template>
  <wxc-button text="Click me!" @wxcButtonClicked="onButtonClick"></wxc-button>
</template>

<script>
import { WxcButton } from 'weex-ui'

export default {
  components: { WxcButton },
  methods: {
    onButtonClick() {
      // Handle button click
    }
  }
}
</script>

The main difference is that Weex-UI provides pre-built UI components like wxc-button, while Weex requires building components from scratch or using third-party libraries. Weex-UI simplifies UI development but offers less flexibility compared to the core Weex framework.

Pros of incubator-weex

• More comprehensive framework for cross-platform development
• Supports a wider range of native components and modules
• Better integration with existing web development workflows

Cons of incubator-weex

• Steeper learning curve due to its broader scope
• Potentially more complex setup and configuration
• May have higher overhead for simpler applications

Code Comparison

incubator-weex:

import { render } from 'weex';
import App from './App.vue';

render(App, document.getElementById('root'));

incubator-weex-ui:

import { WxcButton } from 'weex-ui';

export default {
  components: { WxcButton },
  // ...
}

Summary

incubator-weex is a more comprehensive framework for building cross-platform applications, offering a wider range of native components and better integration with web development workflows. However, it comes with a steeper learning curve and potentially more complex setup.

incubator-weex-ui, on the other hand, is a UI component library built on top of Weex. It provides ready-to-use UI components, making it easier to quickly build user interfaces. While it may not offer the full range of features found in incubator-weex, it can be a good choice for projects that primarily need UI components and want to get started quickly.

The choice between the two depends on the project requirements, development team expertise, and the desired balance between flexibility and ease of use.

Pros of hackernews-App-powered-by-Apache-Weex

• Provides a complete, real-world application example using Apache Weex
• Demonstrates integration with a popular API (Hacker News)
• Offers a practical learning resource for developers new to Weex

Cons of hackernews-App-powered-by-Apache-Weex

• Less frequently updated compared to incubator-weex-ui
• Focused on a specific use case, limiting its applicability to other projects
• Lacks the extensive UI component library found in incubator-weex-ui

Code Comparison

hackernews-App-powered-by-Apache-Weex:

<template>
  <list class="list">
    <cell class="cell" v-for="(item, index) in items" :key="item.id">
      <story :item="item" :index="index"></story>
    </cell>
  </list>
</template>

incubator-weex-ui:

<template>
  <wxc-result
    :type="type"
    :show="show"
    :padding-top="paddingTop"
    :custom-set="customSet"
    @wxcResultButtonClicked="wxcResultButtonClicked">
  </wxc-result>
</template>

The hackernews-App-powered-by-Apache-Weex example shows a list component implementation, while the incubator-weex-ui snippet demonstrates the usage of a pre-built UI component. This highlights the difference in focus between the two repositories, with incubator-weex-ui providing reusable UI components and hackernews-App-powered-by-Apache-Weex showcasing a complete application structure.
