What is the difference between web3.js and ethjs?

Question

Do I need both? Does ethjs depend on web3?

Web3js is an official project of the Ethereum Foundation.
Ethjs is a lightweight reimplementation of web3.js that has an async only API. There is no dependency relationship between them.
Another library that is widely used is ethers.js

Typo in the second point? "...lightweight reimplementation of web3.js..."? – Richard Horrocks May 30 '19 at 11:39
