Angular and React are both powerful front-end programming languages popularly known to build modern and complex web app interfaces.
In fact, a recent report by Statista claims that people use almost 1.88 billion websites. Among them 42.62% of the websites were built with React and 20.39% were built with Angular. Eventually, the usage of these frameworks are drastically increasing.
What is Angular?
Angular or Angular 2 (formerly AngularJS) is an open-source structural framework built and maintained by Google since 2010. This framework uses TypeScript and HTML to build web apps, single-page web apps, and hybrid apps, mostly for large-scale businesses.
Globally popular projects like Microsoft Office Home, BMW Cost Calculator for Driveaways, Xbox, Forbes, and Samsung are built with Angular.
How Is Angular Better Than React?
- Full Stack Framework
- Dependency Injection
- Two-way Data Binding
- Model-View-Controller (MVC)
- Application Architecture
What is React?
React (or Reactjs/ ReactJS) is also a front-end Javascript library developed and maintained by Meta (formerly Facebook). This framework is used by programmers to build the (UI)User Interface of their apps, from individual features to complete components.
Above this, React library codes are reusable and have virtual DOM and JSX. As exciting as it sounds, the code drastically cuts down the development time and saves you from a huge spend. Sounds great right?
How Is React Better Than Angular?
- Isomorphic JavaScript
- JavaScript XML
- One-way data binding
- Flexibility of Codes
