A benchmark was conducted to compare the development time, tokens spent, and lines of code for various JavaScript frameworks, including Astro, Hono+htmx, Nuxt, Next.js, SvelteKit, TanStack Start, Vanilla, and Angular. The results showed that frameworks like SvelteKit and Angular tend to be more expensive to build, while Hono+htmx and Nuxt were found to be relatively efficient in terms of development time and tokens spent. The benchmark also measured the performance and accessibility of the generated apps using Lighthouse, with MPAs (Single-Page Applications) generally outperforming SPAs (Server-Side Applications) in terms of performance metrics.
