Angular-5 vs React JS, Advantages And Disadvantages
by 
In this blog I will discuss briefly some advantages and disadvantages of using Angular 5 and React JS for frontend development.
Angular-5
Advantages of Angular-5
- MVVM template as a base: separates app’s logic from it view in the UI. Meaning that we get a modular solution which can be worked on by several teams of developers using the same data.
- App’s Singular Behaviour: two-way data binding provides singular behaviour for your app (React only supports one-way data binding). The implementation of dependencies aids the singularity so they can be separated from the classes and the risks of error can be minimized.
- Detailed documentation: the official site of Angular 2+ provides detailed documentation for all the feature of the product.
- New useful features: enhanced RXJS, faster compilation, new HttpClient launch.
Disadvantages of Angular-5
- Complex syntax: it would be fair to notice that the 5th version of AngularJS uses TypeScript 2.4 which is the least difficult edition of TypeScript to study.
- Difficult moments in migrating from one Angular version to another.
React JS
Some Advantages of React
- Capabilities of creating as responsive software as possible: because ReactJS incorporated Virtual DOM instead of ordinary DOM, ReactJS mad a breakthrough in the aspect of dynamic page refreshing.
- React abstract away the DOM and creates its own version which is simplified and only includes the things that you need.
- Helps identify which parts have changed
- Determines how to upload the browsers DOM more efficiently
- Much more lightweight/works faster
- Flexibility
- Steep learning curve
- Design simple declarative views for each state in your application
- Encapsulated components
- Dynamic properties and state
- Virtual DOM
- Completely independent of the of your application
- Can render on the client or server
Disadvantages of React JS
- Possible problems with updates
- React.JS is not a framework
