In a nutshell

• React-like component-based UI library
• Based on custom tags
• Simple and minimalist
• Small learning curve, small API

In a nutshell

• Tooling friendly: ES6, Typescript, CoffeeScript...
• Close to standards: no polyfills, additional libs
• Plays well with jQuery
• One page guide
• RiotControl as event controller solution

Why not React.js?

• React is 4x bigger than Riot
• No JSX
• Compare
