Angular is a TypeScript-based free and open-source web application framework led by the Angular Team at Google. Angular provides a standard structure for developers. It also helps developers to create large applications in a maintainable manner. Angular is a platform for building mobile and desktop web applications. Now, let us discuss in detail the reasons for why you should choose Angular for your next project.
1. Document Object Model
–A Document Object Model (DOM) uses an XML or HTML document, a tree structure where each node represents part of the document. Angular uses DOM that helps in updating a multi structure HTML document easily.
2. TypeScript
– TypeScript offers better syntactic structure while using with Angular also makes code easier to understand and maintain.
3. Data Binding
–Angular uses two-way binding. One, the model state reflects any changes made in the corresponding UI elements. Two, the UI state reflects any changes in the model state which makes it two-way binding.
4. Testing
–Angular uses the Jasmine testing framework. This framework ultimately provides many functionalities for writing different types of test cases. Karma is said to be the task-runner for the tests that uses a configuration file to set the start-up, reporters, and testing framework.
Now that you’re familiar with Angular’s basic features, let us discuss its advantages.
1. Custom Components
Angular offers developers to build their own components that can pack functionality along with rendering logic into reusable pieces.
2. Data Binding
Angular offers developers to easily move data from JavaScript code to the view, and react to user events without having to write any code manually.
3. Dependency Injection
Angular offers developers to write modular services and then inject them wherever it is needed. This helps to improve testability and reusability of the same services.
4. Testing
Angular has provided many high-class testing tools and it is recommended to test every part of the application.
5. Browser Compatibility
An angular application can run on any browser because it is cross-platform and can run on any browser such as chrome, firefox, safari etc.
