Re:Four Eras of JavaScript Frameworks by Klonoar on Wednesday April 27, 2022 @04:01PM (#31185015)
There's really three distinctions, in my mind:

1) Libraries (jQuery/Prototype/MooTools/etc) (Beginning - ~2010ish)

2) Widget-frameworks (YUI, Dojo, jQueryUI, etc) (mid-2000s - ~2013ish)

3) Data-orientied Frameworks (Backbone-onwards) (~early 2010s - current)

Edit: (Four, maybe, if you divide 1 into a 1/0 era, with 0 being the "rando DHTML scripts that many didn't really understand" era)
