Ember is a convention-over-configuration JavaScript framework that has been in active use since its inception in 2011. Created to offer a more structured and opinionated approach compared to React or Vue, Ember provides developers with a router, build system, testing setup, data layer (Ember Data), and component model right out of the box. This results in a trade-off between flexibility and the framework's strong conventions, which can be both a benefit and a constraint. Ember's Octane edition, released in 2019, introduced modernized component syntax with hooks, making it more familiar to those used to React's approach. Despite fewer new projects starting with Ember, it remains a staple in many established applications like LinkedIn and Apple Music for the web.
