Are you planning a new project and thinking of which front end web technology to use? Well, AngularJS and ReactJS are currently the most prominent technologies that developers mostly prefer. Both have some unique, crisp features that make them stand apart from each other.
Developed by Google, AngularJS is a web application framework that uses JavaScript/HTML for building dynamic apps. It performs only on the client-side and has a Regular DOM (Document Object Model), meaning the components are bulky and somewhat distorted. But over the years, it has become a comprehensive framework with a fairly large community on GitHub.
On the other hand, ReactJS, developed by Facebook, is a JavaScript library that uses JSX, an HTML-like syntax for building interactive user interfaces. It renders on both the client and server sides and has a Virtual DOM i.e.; it is light-weight and more organized. But, React follows one-way data binding process, which means any change in the model will not be updated in the view and vice versa.
This is just an overview of some of the traits of AngularJS and ReactJS. To get a clear idea about both, see this infographic from Cabot Technology Solutions given below.
