Solid.js 2.0: The Reactive Framework That Outperforms React

Solid.js 2.0 has proven that you don't need a virtual DOM to build reactive user interfaces. With fine-grained reactivity and zero overhead, Solid consistently outperforms other frameworks in benchmarks.

Why Solid.js Matters

Solid compiles your components to real DOM operations, eliminating the virtual DOM diffing overhead. The result is faster initial render, smaller bundle sizes, and more predictable performance.

Fine-Grained Reactivity

import { createSignal, createEffect } from "solid-js"

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)

  createEffect(() => {
    console.log("Count changed:", count())
  })

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>
      Count: {count()}
    </button>
  )
}

Key Advantages

• No Re-renders: Only the specific DOM nodes that need updating change
• Smaller Bundles: No runtime virtual DOM library needed
• React-like Syntax: Easy transition for React developers
• TypeScript First: Excellent type inference

SolidStart Framework

SolidStart provides file-based routing, server-side rendering, and API routes - everything you need for full-stack applications with Solid.js.

When to Choose Solid

Solid excels in performance-critical applications, real-time dashboards, and projects where bundle size matters. Its learning curve is minimal for React developers.
