Frontend development has a lot of frameworks and libraries which has made life easy for developers by increasing productivity. Based on my knowledge I will be comparing REACT and ANGULAR which is evidently the two most widely used technologies in Frontend so stick around till the end and also click on the link https://hng.tech/internship to register to the cohort if you want to know more about different technologies.

React is a JavaScript library for building user Interfaces, primarily focusing on the View Layer. It uses a Virtual DOM which makes it different from other technologies and it employs component-based architecture. Angular on the other hand is a framework for building single - page applications. Angular makes use of real DOM which is not as effective as React Virtual DOM. It also employs component-based architecture.

React is easier to understand if your are familiar with JavaScript. It uses the combination of HTML with JavaScript (JSX syntax). Angular on the other hand is more complex as it relies on Typescript. It dependency on RxJs for reactive programming adds to the Complexity. React is also more flexible than Angular but Angular has a wide range of built in feature and tools.

In conclusion React and Angular are both great technologies. React is commonly used in projects like dashboards and e-commerce sites while Angular is used in making applications that requires a high level of maintenance. Personally, I recommend React because it is flexible and easy to learn. React is the best choice if you are developing a single-page website but if you are building a complex project, you can consider Angular.
