According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Angular is one of the most commonly used web frameworks. ==Differences between Angular and AngularJS== Google designed Angular as a ground-up rewrite of AngularJS. Unlike AngularJS, Angular does not have a concept of "scope" or controllers; instead, it uses a hierarchy of components as its primary architectural characteristic. Angular has a different expression syntax, focusing on "[ ]" for property binding, and "( )" for event binding. Angular recommends the use of Microsoft's TypeScript language, which introduces features such as static typing, generics, and type annotations. ==History== Angular 2.0 was announced during the keynote of the 2014 NG-Conf conference 16–17 January 2014. On April 30, 2015, the Angular developers announced that Angular 2 moved from Alpha to Developer Preview. Angular 2 moved to Beta in December 2015, and the first release candidate was published in May 2016¹. The final version was released on 14 September 2016. Version 8 of Angular introduced a new compilation and rendering pipeline, Ivy, and version 9 of Angular enabled Ivy by default. Angular 13 removed the deprecated former compiler, View Engine. Angular 14 introduced standalone components and Angular 17 made them the default, de-emphasizing the use of modules. Angular 18, released in 2024¹, introduced several improvements such as standalone components defaulting to true, built-in control flow syntax, zoneless support previews, and modern SSR debugging tools. [44] ===Naming=== The rewrite of AngularJS was called "Angular 2", but this led to confusion among developers. To clarify, the team announced that separate names should be used for each framework with "AngularJS" referring to the 1.X versions and "Angular" without the "JS" referring to versions 2 and up. ===Version history=== ==See also== React (software) Vue.js Svelte List of TypeScript software and tools Comparison of JavaScript-based web frameworks Web framework ==References== ==External links== Official website
