Angular
- Also known as
- AngularJS
- Pronounced
- ANG-gyuh-lar
Angular is one of the best known JavaScript frameworks, developed by Google. In plain words, it is a set of ready-made building blocks that let developers put together complex, interactive interfaces quickly instead of writing everything from scratch.
You can think of Angular as a more modern and far more capable successor to jQuery, the library that did a similar job for the previous generation of websites.
The other widely used tool for the same purpose is React, which came out of Facebook. The two are not mutually exclusive — their strengths lie in different places, and a large project may well use both.
