Inferno is a JavaScript library for creating UIs for dynamic/complex web applications. Inferno is insanely fast, lightweight (8kb gzip), familiar (it uses much of the same API as React), modular and offers some compelling features to help developers craft awesome web apps. You can get started straight away by using inferno-create-app
(available on NPM) or by viewing our installation and getting started guides.
Inferno intentionally aims to have the same developer look and feel as React – meaning that Inferno supports the majority of React's API and also utilises a "virtual DOM" behind the scenes. This decision was made due to the stability and high adoption of React in a relatively short period of time. The React API is well-recieved, documented, understood and battle-tested. Inferno could have created its own API, but that would have pushed people into having to learn yet another way of doing things.
