Pros and Cons of Svelte for Web App Development
Svelte is a popular JavaScript framework for building web applications. It offers efficient performance and smaller bundle size due to its unique approach to building web apps.

Reduce overhead
Reduce overhead of javascript framework by using Svelte. Improves the code readability and reusability by compiling Svelte into vanilla javascript
-
Compilation without virtual dom
Svelte doesn't require declarative, and state-driven code, which the browser has to convert into DOM operations. That means you don't need to use virtual DOM anymore.
-
No cross-patform

-
Small open-source community
Like other frameworks, it takes time to develop a big community around a specific frameworks. Although Svelte has gone a pretty decent way already, there are still not enough open-source contributors
