What are the differences between Chai and xUnit.net?

Programming language	JavaScript	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Chai is a BDD / TDD assertion library for Node.js and the browser that can be paired with any JavaScript testing framework. Chai is an assertion library, similar to Node's built-in assert and makes testing easier by giving you many assertions you can run against your code. It also includes a robust Plugin architecture for extending Chai's assertions and interfaces.	xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NET xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation,
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes xUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Chai can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality	Yes You can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Chai is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality	Yes You can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes It contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	N/A	Yes xUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	Yes By using chai-spec-generator plugin which will generate chai test specs from a JavaScript object
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License
Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	Yes By using by using a third party library like chai-jest-mocks which is a chai plugin that adds assertions for jest mock functions. You can also use sinon.js
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A
