Why I Chose React Over Angular
What is React?

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, known for its component-based architecture, which allows developers to create reusable UI components.

React improves application performance by using a Virtual DOM, which efficiently updates and renders components as needed. According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, React has become the most popular JavaScript framework for web development.

Advantages of React

• Speed: React enhances development speed by enabling the use of individual components on both client and server sides.

• Easy to Learn: With a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, developers can quickly learn React.

• Flexibility: Its modular structure makes React easier to maintain and more flexible compared to other frameworks, saving time and resources.

• Reusable Components: React’s component-based approach allows for the reuse of components, streamlining development.

What is Angular?
Angular is a robust JavaScript framework for building web applications, using HTML and TypeScript to create single-page applications. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architectural patterns, which help manage complex web applications effectively.

Advantages of Angular

• Custom and Reusable Components: Angular allows the creation of custom, reusable components.

• Data Binding: Angular simplifies data movement between the JavaScript code and the view, reacting to user events without manual coding.

• Dependency Injection: Angular’s modular services can be injected as needed, promoting modular development.

• Comprehensive: As a full-fledged framework, Angular offers solutions for server communication, routing, and more.

Why I Chose React: Comparing React to Angular
When comparing React and Angular, it’s important to note that Angular, developed by Google, is a comprehensive framework, while React is a library focused on the view layer. React is easier to learn and use, with a larger development community, making it beginner-friendly.

In the HNG Internship, where ReactJS is used, I expect to deepen my understanding of React and apply it to real-world projects. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with React and see how its flexibility and speed can enhance my development process.
