Recently, Vue 3 will introduce a new feature, Vapor Mode, a new Solid.js-inspired compilation strategy designed to improve application performance by compiling code into more efficient JavaScript output.

What is Vapor Mode?

Vapor Mode is an innovative feature in Vue 3 inspired by Solid.js. It improves the performance of your application by compiling code into more efficient JavaScript.

With Vapor Mode, you can do away with the Virtual DOM altogether, reducing the packaging size of your application.

🎉 Advantage

  • Better performance
  • Less memory usage
  • Runtime support code is more streamlined

Solid.js and Vue are very similar in terms of reactive systems, they both use read-based Proxies that are automatically traced. That’s why Vue is able to implement a similar compilation strategy to Solid.js.

How does Vapor Mode work?

For the same .vue single-file component, Vapor Mode is able to compile it into more efficient JavaScript code.
