Vue.js 3 Tutorial for Beginners
Vue.js is a popular javascript framework for building user interfaces. The core Vue library is focussed on doing one thing and doing that one thing really well which is building user interfaces. Vue currently has 175000 github stars on its repo which makes it the third most starred github repository in the world. 

1.15 Million represents a 2300% gain from ASP.NET 4.6! 

The third decimal place 0.05 Million (e.g. 50,000) is around thetotalnumber of requests per second that ASP.NET 4.6 could perform of the same type, on the same hardware 

So as you c a n see in the image below we have a 33,3% gain for Dapper, 16,6% for EntityFramework, and 12,9% for NHibernate, so the overall performance is around 20%!
