What the chart shows

The frontend-framework race has a decisive answer in the hiring data. React pulls clearly ahead and stays there, claiming the large majority of framework-tagged postings, while Angular and Vue settle into much smaller, steadier niches and Next.js and Svelte appear later as the modern additions. The early jQuery and Backbone bands fade as the single-page-app era matures. Watch the relative bands to see how lopsided the demand actually is, then read the sample postings to see which frameworks each role pairs - React with TypeScript and Next.js is by far the most common modern combination.
