Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, designed to be adoptable incrementally, from enhancing a single page to powering a full single-page application. It's one of the three major frontend frameworks alongside React and Angular, known for a gentler learning curve and flexible integration model.

Vue.js Lifecycle Explained

Vue only actively supports the latest release within a major version line, with support ending as soon as a newer version ships. Vue 2 is the notable exception: rather than quietly fading out, the Vue team made a formal, public end of life announcement, confirming Vue 2 reached EOL on December 31, 2023, with 2.7.16 as its final release. Vue has also officially partnered with HeroDevs to offer paid extended security support for teams that need to remain on Vue 2 past that date.

Is Vue 2 end of life?

Yes. Vue 2 officially reached end of life on December 31, 2023. It receives no further updates from the Vue team, though paid extended support is available through Vue's official HeroDevs partnership.

Is Vue still being used?

Yes, Vue 3 is actively developed and widely used in production, and even Vue 2 continues to run in many existing applications that haven't yet migrated.

When did Vue 3 come out?

Vue 3.0 was released on September 18, 2020, and became the default recommended version of Vue starting February 7, 2022.

What is the lifecycle of Vue JS?

Each Vue release stays supported only until the next one ships, with no fixed multi-year window, except for Vue 2 as a whole, which received a formal, dated end of life announcement rather than simply fading out.
