Why AngularJS is Preferred for Web Application Development

AngularJS is an open source framework for front end Web Application development. It is based on JavaScript and maintained by Google and by a large community.

This framework has many powerful features that is why AngularJS development is often the preferred option for businesses.

Below Are the List of Features That AngularJS  Provides:

1. Model View Controller (MVC) pattern

It is a software design pattern for building web applications. In AngularJS, MVC pattern is implemented in JavaScript and HTML. The MVC pattern is separated into three components as discussed below:

Model: The model for a controller contains both the data, one to be displayed and second is the input data to be collected in any input fields.

View: The view in an AngularJS application is created with HTML. It is responsible for presenting the data in a particular format.

Controller: AngularJS controller controls the data of the application. It interacts both with the Model and the View. It is responsible for creating and populating the model and hand it over to the view.

The Model View Framework Control Architecture in AngularJS helps in faster development process because it supports rapid and parallel development. You can create multiple views for a model. Duplicate code is very limited in MVC. And with MVC, your website is SEO friendly.

2. AngularJS uses HTML for providing UI support

AngularJS uses HTML which is a declarative programming language to provide user interface support. HTML makes an easy to use and more intuitive user interface unlike other interfaces written in JavaScript.

3. POJO Model

AngularJS uses POJO (Plain Old JavaScript) objects as compared to other frameworks. As a developer you do not need to write additional getter and setter functions to bind AngularJS. That’s why AngularJS is efficient, easy to use and quick.

4. Large and supportive community

Angular has a large community. Many people work in the core development team .AngularJS is popular and worldwide many conferences are conducted. You can get various online technical resources based on this framework.

Before implementing any framework for development purpose, you first look for the community support. In this case, AngularJS would not let you down.

5. Routing-Single Page Application

AngularJS has a core feature called Routing which provides Single Page Application.

With the help of ngRoute module, you can navigate to different web page in your application without reloading the page.

In single page applications as the name says everything comes in one single page. Developers don’t redirect the users to a new page whenever user clicks on a menu or a sub-menu. Instead, developers want the content to load on the same page with just the URL changing.

6. Two-way binding

Data binding is a feature of AngularJS where data is synchronised automatically between the view and the model. When there is a change in the model, the view reflects the change and vice versa.

 

Conclusion

One benefit of AngularJS is that it analyses the page DOM (Document Object Model) and then builds bindings which are based on AngularJS-specific elements.

As AngularJS uses POJO model which significantly cuts down the coding element as compared to other frameworks. Less number of coding lines reduces error as well.

AngularJS is a great framework which helps in speeding up your development process. It has features such as deep linking and dependency injection which makes it a robust platform for software development.
