This is a tough question to answer because no matter what anyone says - be it the designers or operators of the aircraft - the true capabilities of a fighter aircraft will never be known until it sees combat.
The JF-17 is a 4th generation fighter aircraft. It carries a wide array of weapons of European, South-African, Brazilian, Chinese and Pakistani origin. Its electronics are (depending on the version) either Italian or Chinese.
The Pakistani Air Force has inducted at least 100 of them already and they have seen use in counter-insurgency operations in North-West Pakistan. According to Pakistani sources, it performed very well. However, it has yet to see actual combat against a professional military (hopefully it doesn't, wars are bad but obviously that's what it was made for). Until then, we may never know how capable the JF-17 is.

JF-17 vs MiG 29?
It will be unwise to compare these two aircrafts. But if said so, jf-17 is single engine aircraft therefore, the payload it will take will be much less. The other thing is that its thrust/weight ratio will directly depend upon the engine it carries. Currently it is said that the engine of JF-17 will be RD-93 which is used as one of the two engines in Mig-29 so in principle JF-17 should have atleast half the weight of MiG-29. JF-17 will be primarily used as air superiority aircraft on the other hand MiG-29 is a multi-role aircraft. The main advantages JF-17 will have over MiG-29 is the low maintenance cost and new airframe with composite materials.

Its airframe, made of advanced carbon fibre composites, is light years ahead of the Jf-17 Thunder's all-metal airframe. The same goes for the Tejas' aerodynamics which, because of the compound delta-wing, extensive wing-body blending, and low wing loading are superior to those of the Thunder, which has a more conventional layout along the lines of the F-16 and a rejected Soviet light fighter design. As far as flight dynamics and control go, the Tejas, with its relaxed static stability and quadruplex, full authority fly-by-wire digital flight control system, is far more advanced than the Thunder, which still features conventional controls (fly-by-wire exists only for pitch control).ANS 2 - Having read all the available specs on both of these aircraft, I would say they are extremely well matched. Both have known and reliable engines, both have a similar weapons load, both use the same 23 mm cannon. The differences will come in the avionics suite and in the ability of the pilots.
