Solid is a declarative JavaScript library for building user interfaces that compiles JSX templates to real DOM nodes instead of using a Virtual DOM. It provides fine-grained reactivity, so when state changes, only the code that depends on it reruns, delivering high performance.

Use cases

• build a fast reactive single-page app without a virtual dom
• create ui components with fine-grained state updates
• build a declarative frontend with jsx and signals
• migrate from react to a more performant ui library
• build a reactive counter or interactive widget
• develop a high-performance web app with minimal re-renders

When to choose

• you want react-like jsx ergonomics with better runtime performance
• fine-grained reactivity and no virtual dom overhead matters
• you prefer components that run once with signals for state

When to avoid

• your team depends on the react ecosystem of libraries and tooling
• you need a framework with a huge job market and community size
• you want server-first rendering with mature full-stack conventions out of the box
