The comparison of ReactJS with AngularJS has been a hot topic. Have you ever been in a dilemma, what programming language to choose over the other?
Well, this article may help you in figuring out your choice. Both languages have their own benefits and perks.
But choosing one over the other without comparing can result in loss of money and time. The decision-making of choosing one of these languages has become challenging for web developers.
- Both languages are advanced technologies used to create interactive single-page applications.
- Both of the languages are at their peak of success.
- Both are widely in demand and are currently used by numerous IT companies not only in India but also worldwide.
AngularJS, maintained by Google, is an open-source framework. Its better plug-and-play components and reusability-like salient features make it outshine other frameworks. It handles dependencies with ease.
ReactJS, maintained by Facebook, is easy to learn and use. The virtual DOM, one of the best development tools and its unrivaled ecosystem has helped REACTJS to establish a place in the world of frameworks.
React VS Angular
Data binding
Angular
In angularJS data binding data is automatically synchronized between model and view and components. It supports two-way data binding.
But, sometimes it makes angularJS lack in the field of performance.
React
React, unlike angularJS, supports one-way data binding. This feature makes REACT a popularly used front-end. It provides an easier approach for debugging.
Reusability of code
Angular
Angular offers the reusability of code.
React
On the other hand, React helps you to write the code as you like.
This feature makes choosing angularJS over ReactJS.
Model complexity
Angular
This feature of angular makes code quite easier, simpler, and testable.
React
On considering react, it allows you to choose what you want without any performance restriction.
Both react and angular works equally efficiently.
Directives and templates
Angular
Directives help in organizing work around the dom. In angular, templating is clear. But, syntax on other hand is rather difficult.
React
It doesn’t offer digression in templates. It doesn’t really require re-usability.
Angular surpasses React with this feature as well.
Advantages of AngularJS
If we are comparing community and developer support, then AngularJS is the only framework to rely on. Its bi-directional characteristic makes it a better choice than react. Angular is the subset of HTML.
Disadvantages of AngularJS
It is a difficult framework for beginners to work with. This framework is not suitable for complex tasks.
Advantages of React
React has the ability to composite the components in a single compile-time file. It comes with an ideal setup. It surpasses Angular with its prompt rendering feature. React is purely a JS library.
Disadvantages of React
The configuration requirements while integrating React with MVC slow down the development process.
When to use ANGULAR
- Low to medium complex apps
- When you require boosted performance
- Need of server-side rendering support
When to use React
- when you have dynamic content in your app
- SPA’s that update many views at a time
Summing up
Study carefully that what your project actually demands. Both languages are helpful in their respective domains. It solely depends on your projects’ requirements and needs.
