Svelte is a radical approach to building user interfaces. It is a compiler that takes declarative components and converts them into highly efficient imperative code that directly manipulates the DOM. This results in minimal overhead and blazing-fast performance, as Svelte shifts the work from the browser to the build step. Svelte's reactive declarations and reactivity system enable automatic updates to the DOM when data changes, without the need for a virtual DOM.

Compared to traditional frameworks like React and Vue, Svelte offers a simpler and more intuitive development experience with its unique approach to reactive programming. It eliminates the need for complex state management libraries and reduces the bundle size significantly.
