Angular vs. AngularJS: What You Need To Know

Due to our extensive custom development portfolio that includes multiple technologies both new and established, we get requests from multiple clients about the kind of technologies we can use and what is the difference between multiple technologies that sometimes overlap or at least the clients think that overlap. One of the key questions that come up every now and then with some frequency is the difference between Angular and AngularJS.

It’s a valid question as both are quite similar. AngularJs is the updated version of Angular but with some major upgrades and differences that makes selecting between both a slightly difficult choice.

What is Angular?

Angular is an open-source web app framework developed by the Angular team at Google.

What is AngularJS?

It is an open-source and Javascript-based framework largely used for single-page web applications.

Introduction to Angular

Angular is a robust framework that utilizes typescript and HTML for building single-page applications. Functionalities that may be optional or critical are imported into the app as libraries.

There are some key components of an Angular app architecture. Various components are then arranged as Ngmodules. The code is then arranged as a functional set and compiled.

Angular apps will have a root module named AppModule that is used as the bootstrap for the initial app launch. And then, NgModule imports functions from other modules for other auxiliary tasks and responds to user requests. The functionalities of various Ng Modules can be used by other modules which makes them interchangeable and usable.

One of the advantages of using distinct modules is that you can divide the functionalities into distinct modules. This can help in managing and building large applications. You can also load codes selectively and on-demand to lower the overall code loaded during startup and reduce response time and make the overall app faster.

Also, Angular uses components that can be connected with the Root component for the component hierarchy and with the DOM that is Document Object Model which defines the view to be displayed for the end user.

Introduction to AngularJs

AngularJS is a Javascript framework that utilises Javascript over typescript by Angular. It was developed by Google and an army of volunteers maintains and updates this open-source single-page web app location framework. Angular JS utilises both MVC that is Model View & Controller and Model View-View Model architecture. AngularJs has become the preferred choice for front-end MEAN stack developers.
