Hi, Emanuele! Welcome to Habr. Glad to see you here.
Frankly, I don't know much about SAP. So I want to ask:
Frankly, I don't know much about SAP. So I want to ask:
- Is OpenUI5 a general purpose UI framework, or it's designed to work with SAP ecosystem?
- Could I see some kind of comparison between OpenUI5 and mainstream frameworks?
Hi Sirion, happy to be here ;)
SAP has many many faces that touch a lot of different technologies. If you want to keep a look at all the services available on SCP (SAP Cloud Platform) you can take a look at the Capabilities page. It has evolved a lot since '80s ;)

To answer to your questions:
- OpenUI5 is the open source version of SAPUI5 (the latter has priority support and a couple of pre-made controls not yet in the open source version). UI5 is a general purpose framework similar to Vue/ReactJS/Angular. SAPUI5 is the perfect choice if you're working on SAP envoirnment for two main reason: SAP use a lot of OData to talk between backend-to-backend and frontend-to-backend and it's natively supported by UI5. The second reason is that UI5 offers a lot of pre-made UI controls that speed up your app-building and allows you to easily extend them or create new one from scatch. Using that framework allows you to easily comply to the SAP Fiori Design Pattern.
- Compared to other frameworks is still a little bit behind (in term of performance) but it's improving a lot and they're (core team) investing really a huge amount of resources. It's still a must if you need to develop in a SAP ecosystem for the reasons above
