Chameleon (CML) is a cross-platform development framework by DiDi that lets you write one Vue-like codebase and compile it to web, WeChat/Alipay/Baidu/QQ/ByteDance mini-programs, and native Android/iOS apps via Weex. It provides a polymorphic protocol so developers can still handle platform-specific differences when needed.

Use cases

• build a mini-program and web app from one codebase
• compile a single Vue-like codebase to WeChat, Alipay, and Baidu mini-programs
• develop native Android and iOS apps without writing platform-specific code
• share UI components across web and mini-program targets
• migrate an existing web app to mini-programs

When to choose

• you need to target multiple mini-program platforms plus web and native from one codebase
• your team prefers a Vue-like syntax and wants high consistency across platforms
• you want a mature compile-time solution with a polymorphic protocol for platform differences

When to avoid

• you only target a single platform like web or one mini-program
• you need cutting-edge framework features or active community development - the project has seen limited updates since 2023
• you prefer mainstream ecosystems like Taro or uni-app with larger communities
