Advantages over phantom js solution

[alfonsodev]

I'm starting to use react-engine when I discover prerender.io a phantom js based solution,
I'm wondering what are the pros, cons of using react-engine instead of something phantom based.
Thanks.

@alfonsodev: In my opinion prerender.io and react-engine cannot be compared as both are very different things. prerender.io helps in converting/enabling any pure javascript web app web crawler crawlable. On the other hand, react-engine is a react view render engine (similar to jade engine http://expressjs.com/guide/using-template-engines.html, etc..) to render views .

Yes, I understand prerender is just a phantomjs browser instance,
but when using different language than JS, what would you use ?

• Implement paypal/react-engine behind a REST API http://github.com/alfonsodev/isorender
• or prerender.io
