The number of frameworks for the rapid development of websites and web applications is continually growing. Over time and again, developers are spoiled for choice as to which technology is best suited for implementing a new project.
To better understand the framework's component and architecture, let us compare two of the most widely used frameworks: Angular and React.
Angular and React are used for developing single-page applications (SPA). SPAs are web-based applications that only load an HTML document from the server and dynamically reload content without server-side page navigation. Websites can react to interactions and events, and load content without a page reload. This makes the website more dynamic for the user.
Besides, server costs for the operator and the user's traffic consumption can be reduced, since in the case of server inquiries, not entire pages but only the required data are delivered. The disadvantages (depending on the project) are higher development costs and increased demands on developers.
Since developers' requirements with SPAs are much higher, it is highly recommended to use a framework. Frameworks are scaffolds for software development that developers can use according to their own needs.
What is React?
React is a library that serves to cover the view component of the model-view-controller approach, i.e., the application's side that the user sees and interacts with. Typically, a DOM (Document Object Model) is available for this as a tree structure generated in HTML and can only be traversed and changed with great effort. By using a virtual DOM that is easier to manipulate, the library can implement interactions very quickly. React is based on JSX, i.e., Javascript XML, which enables XML elements to be added directly to Javascript. HTML is also integrated.
What is Angular?
Angular is a framework for creating user interfaces based on the Model-View-ViewModel model (MVVM). In contrast to the MVC model, the controller unit is omitted here; instead, the view model creates a connection between them. The framework enables interactions to be implemented quickly and easily. The makers' approach is to extend HTML in such a way that the script language itself can deal with interactivity. Accordingly, HTML is the basis of the code here; Javascript is placed on it.
What are the advantages of React?
First and foremost, the use of the virtual DOM speaks for React, with which the effort of changing the actual DOM is kept extremely low. This ensures that the application always behaves very smoothly, even if the underlying operations are quite complex or the databases are extensive.
Furthermore, as already mentioned, React is only a library and therefore has very few constraints for the developer. They can integrate additional libraries at will and go to the solution of their order completely free of specifications, instead of following specific rules and procedures.
Conclusion
React js development services is recommended for projects whose results are very interactive. React is also suitable if you depend on other libraries or if the developers already have experience with JSX. Since there are no clear structures, close cooperation between the development team is necessary. Also, server-side rendering is better supported by React, which makes the library SEO friendly.
In contrast to React, Angular offers apparent structures and many features. This allows Angular-affine development teams to move quickly to implementation without, for example, defining structures or looking for additional libraries in advance. Since Angular is so extensive, it is often too overloaded for small projects and brings unnecessary ballast.
