Livewire vs InertiaJS: which to choose?
summary
A practical comparison between Livewire and InertiaJS for Laravel frontends: Livewire prioritizes developer speed using only PHP and a large community, demonstrated with a live counter and a 100-user table; Inertia requires more setup but sends lighter payloads (HTML snapshot vs JSON props) and feels more reactive in the browser. Concrete measurements are given (payloads ~3.6 KB vs 5 KB and ~89 ms vs 96 ms), and practical limitations (text input issues) are addressed using the morph plugin.
