You will now find a feature table for needle here. https://github.com/morganstanley/needle#feature-support

Generally getting into direct comparison with other libraries is not considered healthy for OSS projects. Happy for community to do their own comparisons however.

Maybe to highlight the limitations you faced using the other DI containers would help.

Davidhanson90 commented 3 years ago

Lacking type safety
Obscure API
Inconsistent approach to different DI concepts (lacking unity across them)
Magic strings
Focus on explicit binding & registrations Vs inferred via imports
Poor documentation
Backwards compatibility with older versions of typescript.
Dependency weight.

I'll consider maybe putting these in main docs but they are normally emotive and subjective
