In this blog we are going to discuss in summary, difference\u00a0between the two most popular JS (library\/framework) i.e Angular 2 and React JS<\/p>\n
On the very first note, React JS<\/a> is just a library and Angular 2 is a whole framework (which is still undergoing changes). But we can have a comparison\u00a0for both.<\/p>\n 1. Component: Both React and Angular 2 are based on a Component model. But they both differ in the way the component is used.<\/p>\n in Angular 2 :<\/em><\/p>\n In React :<\/em><\/p>\n We can see that both React and Angular 2<\/a> uses component (which is based on class feature of ES6) On the other side, Angular 2 uses template URL to store HTML (which is separate from JS code) 2. ECMA 6<\/strong> : Both React and Angular 2 uses latest ECMA 6 features but React\u00a0uses Babel \u00a0to transpile ES6\/ES2015 code into its ES5 counterpart. While Angular use typescript (mostly) which uses adds static types inside javascript. This static types used inside JS is a demerit in itself.<\/p>\n 3 DataFlow :<\/strong> Angular 2 is based on bi-directional data flow while React JS is based on uni-directional data flow.<\/p>\n 4. Routing :<\/strong> Angular 2 has its own routing functionality in its own framework. While React relies on another library “react-router”.<\/p>\n 5. DOM :\u00a0<\/strong>React JS use Virtual DOM (Javascript representation\u00a0of actual DOM) to manipulate the actual DOM , which makes it quite fast and efficient in comparison to Angular 2 which directly manipulate actual DOM.<\/p>\n 6. Tooling Support :<\/strong> For tool used to support React we need to search for those which supports JSX feature . Although there are many tools in the market which support JSX. But Angular 2 does not require any special tool as it stores HTML in a separate file.<\/p>\n 7. Architecture :\u00a0<\/strong>React does not provide any architecture , but facebook developers suggest to use either flux or redux based architecture which supports\u00a0unidirectional data flow.On the other hand, Angular was based on MVC architecture earlier but later in Angular 2<\/a>, architecture is based on the component with bidirectional data flow with the concept of dependency injection (most opinionated\u00a0) .<\/p>\n So we can see that both React and Angular 2 have pros and cons when compared with each other with respect to their core concepts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this blog we are going to discuss in summary, difference\u00a0between the two most popular JS (library\/framework) i.e Angular 2 and React JS On the very first note, React JS is just a library and Angular 2 is a whole framework (which is still undergoing changes).

\nComponent used in Angular 2 is quite difficult as compared to React. As they use annotation or can say, decorators (which has a quite unusual syntax with JS code).<\/p>\n
\nBut React uses inline HTML code (which is coupled component with HTML and JS code ie. messy code).<\/p>\n
