Hey nerds, here are the brief differences between React and Angular.  

There has been huge growth in usage of mobile phones and its applications since the decade. Companies and developers across the world are more concerned to develop mobile-first applications. Having said that, there are n number of libraries and frameworks to develop complex and native UI features to meet the expectations of users.

Among those, the most popular and widely used web application frameworks are REACT and ANGULAR. We are going to see the differences between those briefly.

React:

 * ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript Library.

 * It was developed and maintained by Facebook.

 * It is based on JavaScript and JSX(which is JavaScript example that looks similar to HTML and CSS, but it uses components and elements of web-like <div>,<span>, etc).

* It is mostly used to develop single-page applications.

* It is of one-way data binding i.e the data to be passed in only one way to other parts of application. State is passed to the view and next to other child components.

* When it comes to understanding and learning react it is comparatively easy.

* Companies like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Airbnb uses react.

* React Native is used to build native mobile apps with existing React knowledge.

Pros:

* Better user interfaces and easy to launch.

* Faster development and time-saving.

* Easy to integrate third-party libraries.

* One-directional data binding with code stability.

Cons:

* Developers should have great knowledge in integrating with MVC framework.

* Needs complex configuration and set-up when integrating with MVC framework.

Angular:

* Angular is a full-fledged MVC (Model View Controller) written in JavaScript.

* It was developed by Google.

* Unlike React, it uses TypeScript (JavaScript-like language) to develop applications.

* It is majorly used to develop large scale and complex applications.

* It is of 2-way data binding.

* The learning curve is difficult for beginners but difficulty reduces gradually.

* Companies like Sony, Forbes, Google, Nike uses Angular.

* NativeScript is used to build native mobile apps with existing Angular knowledge.

Pros:

* It offers high performance of application.

* Code is cleaner and structured.

* It takes everything about routing

* Material design like interface. 

Cons:

* Angular features can be difficult and complex for beginners.

* Switching versions might get difficult.

* Integrating third-party libraries can be difficult.

According to Github Stats:

* React has around 1,11,935+ stars and 1200+ contributors.
