Angular vs AngularJS

Difference Between Angular and AngularJS

Angular is the most popular framework amongst front-end developers. But choice of its version to be used in our project is very important. AngularJS on the other hand is also popular but another version of Angular sometimes referred to as Angular 1. It was introduced in 2009.

Introduction to AngularJS

AngularJS is JavaScript framework. What that means is that it is written in JavaScript. It is added to the pages of HTML using <script> tag. Main two concepts of AngularJS are Expressions and Directives. Expressions are used for binding of data to HTML and Directives are used to extend HTML attributes. It is useful in projects like single page applications. It is an ultimate choice for those who wish to have complete control on their web applications.

Features of AngularJS

Architecture
AngularJS architecture provides the feature of manageable splitting of application using MVC. MVC deals with model where your data is kept. It could be static or dynamic. MVC also deals with view which is nothing but directives and elements. Users interact with view using a browser. MVC also talks about controller feature which is nothing but dealings of a business layer. Business logic layer of any application is the first stage where new module is being created by registering the application.
Binding
It provides binding between view and model. Any change made in one is reflected in another.
POJO
POJO stands for plain old JavaScript objects. They are well adequate operationally.
Minimal coding
AngularJS doesn’t require writing different code for the architecture on which a program will be run.
Filters
This feature ensures that before data reaches the view it is in correct format.
Testing
Testing data is fed to controller to check its behaviour and output.
Manipulations
With AngularJS DOM is a manipulated using directive.
Resource sharing
Main concentration of controller should be on the view update. For sharing of resources of controllers they are provided with services of resource sharing.

Introduction to Angular

A JavaScript framework Angular was written in TypeScript. Google is its developer and so far it is upheld by Google only. Google AdWords always makes use of Angular and if you understand importance of AdWords you could guess that Angular has a bright future.  Angular is a podium for structuring mobile as well as desktop applications for web.
Basically, Angular is a framework for client-side. There have been so many releases of Angular with new features every time. Angular is perhaps one of the greatest prevalent modern day frameworks available today for web. Let’s suppose you want to create a web app. With Angular you have numerous options under one ceiling. You don’t have to have a separate library for support to navigation with Angular. Using its services you can easily maintain data, it helps in lazy loading, it has many primitive filters, pipes using which you can modulate your data on user interface.
Apart from these features it comes with complete server configuration.

Angular has these features making it influential frameworks in the marketplace.
MVC
This is a scheme design used in all current web applications. This design is built on splitting the commercial logic layer, the data layer, presentation layer into isolated sections so that every layer could be handled more easily.
Angular Material
Angular comes with its own UI mechanisms suite that works from corner to corner in the web, on desktop and in mobiles. These are referred to as Angular Material
Data Binding
Writing different code for binding data with HTML controls is not required. This is completed by Angular with the help of snippets of coding.
Architectural Feature
The idea of “scope” and “controllers” is not used in Angular, instead it has a hierarchy of modules as its principal architectural features.
Minimum Code
With Angular, you need smaller amount of code for DOM management.
Unit Testing
A testing framework “Karma” has been designed with Angular to test units for Angular applications

Dissimilarities Between Angular and AngularJS

Feature	Angular	AngularJS
Core Difference	Uses TypeScript	Uses JavaScript
Basic Vocabulary	Directives, Templates are used	Controller, Scope are used
Binding	Uses only ( ) and [ ] for event and property binding respectively	Different ng directive for different bindings are used
Mobile support	Mobile support is provided	Doesn’t provide this support
Dependency injection	Hierarchical injection of dependency	Doesn’t support dependency injection
Structure	Easily manageable structure	Less manageable structure
