Re: 4D data on the web - what do you use?

I’m partial to React, I use 4D methods to return JSON strings (via JSON Stringify on a C_OBJECT) Before choosing React, I build a proof of concept page with React and Angular (not AngularJS). React performed much better and was easier to learn because the React language is close to Javascript,
