npm install vueOur analysis
Vue 2 is a progressive frontend framework focused on the view layer, using a reactive data system and a component model with single-file components. It can scale from a drop-in library to a full SPA framework via its supporting ecosystem.
When to use vue
Use this repo only when maintaining legacy applications already built on Vue 2 that cannot yet migrate. For any new project, Vue 3 (vuejs/core) is the correct choice.
When not to
Do not start new projects on Vue 2 — it reached End of Life on December 31st, 2023 and no longer receives features, fixes, or security updates. New work should target Vue 3, and security-sensitive Vue 2 deployments need a third-party support tier.
Strengths
- Gentle learning curve and approachable template syntax
- Mature, battle-tested codebase with a huge community and rich ecosystem (vue-router, vuex, vue-cli)
- Excellent documentation and broad browser support down to ES5
- Single-file component model with good tooling
Trade-offs
- End of life — no further updates, fixes, or official security patches
- Options API and Vue 2 reactivity have known limitations (array/object change detection caveats)
- Weaker TypeScript ergonomics than Vue 3's Composition API
- Migration to Vue 3 can require non-trivial effort for large apps
Maturity
Extremely mature but officially inactive. The repository is archived and superseded by vuejs/core (Vue 3). It remains available on CDNs and package managers, and paid extended support exists for compliance-bound users, but it should be treated as legacy.
Vue 2 has reached End of Life
You are looking at the now inactive repository for Vue 2. The actively maintained repository for the latest version of Vue is vuejs/core.
Vue has reached End of Life on December 31st, 2023. It no longer receives new features, updates, or fixes. However, it is still available on all existing distribution channels (CDNs, package managers, Github, etc).
If you are starting a new project, please start with the latest version of Vue (3.x). We also strongly recommend current Vue 2 users to upgrade (guide), but we also acknowledge that not all users have the bandwidth or incentive to do so. If you have to stay on Vue 2 but also have compliance or security requirements about unmaintained software, check out Vue 2 NES.

Introduction
Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. It is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable, and can easily scale between a library and a framework depending on different use cases. It consists of an approachable core library that focuses on the view layer only, and an ecosystem of supporting libraries that helps you tackle complexity in large Single-Page Applications.
Browser Compatibility
Vue.js supports all browsers that are ES5-compliant (IE8 and below are not supported).
