React vs. Angular: Which Should You Use to Build Your Startup?

Angular and ReactJS are the most popular web development frameworks. Picking the right front-end frameworks is a real challenge for every organization for their respective project.  

When it comes to a startup, choosing the right technology for your product is crucial. There are many parameters that lead to a decision to choose the right technological mix for a product, especially front-end-end technology. The current market expects faster responsive, future-ready, and easy/quick implementation.  

In this article, we are not exploring the basic information about Angular and React. Let us compare some of the important aspects of Angular and React JS to help Startups to build scalable web applications with suitable frameworks. 

Technical Comparison: Angular Vs. React 

 

React Vs Angular Techforce

 

 

 

Angular 

React 

Official Web Site angular.io reactjs.org 
Script Angular is a JavaScript framework built on Typescript. React is JavaScript Library. 

 

Version 14.x 18. X 
Licenses MIT License MIT License 
Learning Curve Angular has a steep learning curve. Angular is a complete solution there for It taking time to learn concepts like TypeScript and MVC. React is easy to learn compared to Angular as React is not a complete framework. 
Complexity Angular is less complex to understand and manage bigger projects. React is complex to understand. Also, Complexity rises with project size. 
Rich Component Angular components are mentioned as Directives. Angular separates UI as a component in HTML tag (Attribute) and JavaScript code (Behaviors).  React combines HTML tag and JavaScript code in the component. 
Support for TDD Testing and Debugging are possible using a single tool. Test cases are easy to write and understand in Angular React requires a set of tools to perform testing. A written test case in React is Difficult. 
Library Many ready-to-use libraries are available for Angular. But Angular itself completes sets of tools, so not much required a third-party library. Many libraries are available for React. You need to use a third-party library to use more functionalities. 

 

Integration with other platforms You can integrate Angular with other platforms. Angular integration with other platforms is a little bit complex compared to React. You can easily integrate React with other platforms.  
Required Team Skill TypeScript, HTML, CSS JavaScript, HTML, CSS 
Size and Load Time Angular is larger and takes more load time compared to React as It provides a full framework. When you manipulate DOM angular is faster than React. React is smaller and loads quicker than Angular, as React is only a library. When you manipulate DOM React is slower than Angular. 
Support Google Meta (Formerly Facebook) 
Upgrades Angular provides upgrades every 6 months. Also, Provide long-term support for 12 months. React focuses on stability as many companies including Twitter and Airbnb use React. 
Upgrade cost Angular provides 1 year to make necessary changes. Upgradation cost is high in Angular compared to React. Upgradation in React is Easy in React. The react-codemod script helps you to migrate upgraded versions. Upgradation cost is lower in React. 
Maintenance Angular provides CLI tools that help to maintain applications. So, Angular maintenance is easy compared to React. React Maintenace is a little bit complex and costly compared to Angular.

Limitations of Angular 

Limited SEO options 

Angular is the platform’s limited SEO option. Angular application is a single-page page application and is usually rendered on the client side, therefore search engine crawlers are not able to see the complete structure and content of the individual page.  

Steep learning curve 

Developers who are familiar with JavaScript would find Angular quite difficult to learn compared to React or Vue. This is because of complex modules, coding languages, integrations, and customizing capabilities. 

Limitations of React 

View Layar 

You can use React only as a View part. You can only build UI with React JS. To build a complete product you need to use other technology with React. 

JavaScript XML 

You need to use JSX to develop a React Application. JSX is a feature and advantage of React JS but on other hand, JSX is also a limitation of React. Because Every developer cannot familiar with JSX syntax. Also, JSX has a complex learning curve, especially for new Developers. 

As we have gone through the comparison and limitations of each of the Frameworks, let us also go through some of the criteria which help you to identify the right framework. 

Why should you choose Angular? 

  • Angular provides automatic synchronization with two-way data binding. When data is modified or changed the model and view are updated automatically in real-time. 
  • To handle events independently and establish data channels Angular provides AngularCLI built-in tools. 
  • Angular provides quick server-side rendering, which helps views that don’t have browser-side rendering. 
  • Angular is supported by Google. Google developers are offering Lont-Term Support (LTS) for angular.  

 

Why should you choose React? 

  • React provides the greatest performance. Updating the UI without refreshing the website is faster and more scalable. 
  • React JS is mostly used to load data without refreshing the web page in large-scale applications. 
  • React contains state containers like Redux. Which is used to create dynamic elements and renderer management. 
  • React is used to create Reusable reach UI components. 

 

 Conclusion  

It is very tough to find out one as better compared to others, Angular or React. Both have their own features and advantages. Also, both have some improvement points. They both are fighting to give the best performance.   

Finding the most suitable technology is critical. Apart from technological strength and weakness, it also depends on your project’s nature, your needs, your available resources, and your future vision. So, you can choose wisely.
