Welcome Unimedia’s technical posts series. This time around we’ve done a comparison between Angular and React for our readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Angular?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Angular is an application design framework<\/em><\/strong> and development <\/a>platform for creating <\/a>efficient and sophisticated single-page apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angular is used by biggies like Google, Upwork, Nike, Sony, General Motors, Forbes & etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produt site here: https:\/\/angular.io\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is React?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A JavaScript library<\/em><\/strong> for building user interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

React is used by biggies like, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Uber, Netflix, Airbnb, Netflix & etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Library<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A library is a collection of codes you will be using frequently. You may call the code directly if you need it.

<\/td><\/tr>
In a nutshell, If you call it, It is a “Library”.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Framework<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A framework defines how your application will be structured, it decides when to call code and it can include libraries, which will be used if needed
<\/td><\/tr>
In a nutshell, If it calls you, It is a “Framework”.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Data Binding:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data-binding is a technique that binds data sources from the provider and consumer together and synchronizes them.<\/em><\/p>

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

One Way<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Any change in the component\u2019s logic (data) gets reflected inside the UI (view).<\/td><\/tr>
Any change in the UI (view) gets reflected inside the component\u2019s logic (model).<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

\n

Two Way<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Change in the view gets reflected in the component\u2019s logic.<\/td><\/tr>
Change in the component\u2019s logic gets reflected in the view.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
Angular uses both one-way & two-way binding<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOM Manipulation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOM stands for \u201c Document Object Model \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"JavaScript<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Incremental DOM<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Incremental DOM<\/strong> has one virtual DOM and it walks along the tree to find changes and then mutates the virtual DOM and then apply those changes to the actual DOM.
<\/td><\/tr>
This approach doesn’t create a new virtual DOM to determine the changes.<\/td><\/tr>
It doesn\u2019t need such a big footprint as memory is only allocated for changes.

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
Angular uses incremental-dom(ivy)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Virtual DOM<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Virtual DOM<\/strong> compares (diff) a new entire virtual DOM with the previous virtual DOM for changes then applies those changes to the actual DOM.
<\/td><\/tr>
This approach creates a new virtual DOM to determine the changes.<\/td><\/tr>
It has a big memory footprint because it needs headroom for changes that “might” happen to the virtual DOM.

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
React uses virtual-dom<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tests have shown that Incremental DOM is fast enough to work even without a virtual DOM also.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Learning Curve:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Angular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Angular <\/strong>has steeper learning curve comparatively.
<\/td><\/tr>
Programmers who come from traditional statically typed OOP languages like C++, C# or Java might have more fun working with Angular, because TypeScript has a similar syntax to those languages.

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

React<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
React <\/strong>is bit easier to learn comparatively.
<\/td><\/tr>
Despite the fact that in React, you need to learn many third party packages to build a complex application (which you may find boring) and that the documentation is much shorter, it has great quality with tons of examples.

Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Unimedia<\/a>, After creating successful MVPs for customers using both the frameworks, Our opinion is that,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

React is the winner on popularity, better suited for small to medium projects, Angular is more robust and well architected framework for huge projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
