p5js vs cavas in JavaScript

What, according to you, is better in terms of animation and all the other things we do in JavaScript. What are the pros and cons of both of these. I see nowadays more web coders (on sololearn) use p5js

Calviղ haha, that’d be cool! I’m sure you could make something really special with it. I think I’ll be browsing the github page a bit this week, and learn more about it 😃🌹🌹

Vanilla js > all else js in my humble opinion. Plus if you know how, you can do everything p5 js does for animations with vanilla js. (just a bit more verbosely)

p5 is excelent for beginners, you can find outstanding learning material on youtube. But i think when you want more, then you should learn canvas. Or start with p5 and switch to canvas later, which I plan to do eventually, if I find the courage to do so ... 😌

Saurabh Tiwari Like I said, p5 is really easy to get started, but in the end canvas is more complete. Did you already find the tutorials of The Coding Train on youtube? You can learn so much there, also general javascript subjects like arrays, objects, loops and so on. All related to drawing with p5js.

I know both, but in my opinion p5.js is way easier. I made the mistake of learning canvas first. Start with p5.js to get grips then move to canvas. I am actually going to go cold turkey soon and give up p5. I take p5 as a boost for beginners. Learn valuable knowledge with p5, and then go forward with the real thing.
