AngularJS is a JavaScript-based open-source front-end web framework. AngularJS lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.
It’s a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application development. It is fully extensible and works well with other libraries. Every feature can be modified or replaced to suit your unique development workflow and feature needs.
AngularJS fits the definition of a framework the best, even though it’s much more lightweight than a typical framework and explains why it’s sometimes called a library.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Data-binding – an automatic way of updating the view whenever the model changes, as well as updating the model whenever the view changes.
- Controllers – express the behavior in a clean readable form without the usual boilerplate of updating the DOM, registering callbacks or watching model changes.
- Uses models which are plain JavaScript objects. This makes your code easy to test, maintain, reuse, and free from boilerplate.
- Directives – invent new HTML syntax, specific to your application.
- Reusable Components.
- Localization – locale aware filters and stemming directives give you building blocks to make your application available in all locales
- Navigation, Forms and Backends.
