About

Prototype is a legacy open-source JavaScript framework that eases cross-browser development of dynamic web applications.

It offers Ajax helpers for asynchronous requests, DOM extensions including element selection shortcuts and a CSS selector engine, class-based inheritance, an Enumerable module for array iteration, form field access methods, and a template formatting class.

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces through reusable and stateful UI components, originally created by Facebook.

It supports JSX markup, a virtual DOM rendering system, hooks for state and lifecycle management, server-side rendering, concurrent rendering, and is often used as a base for other full-stack frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.
