Diferance between Angular and Angular JS

 Angular and AngularJS are both frameworks developed by Google, but they have significant differences. Here’s a comparison:

FeatureAngularJS (Angular 1.x)Angular (Angular 2+)
ArchitectureBased on MVC (Model-View-Controller)Based on Component-based architecture
LanguageUses JavaScriptUses TypeScript (a superset of JavaScript)
PerformanceSlower due to two-way data bindingFaster due to improved data binding and change detection
Mobile SupportNot optimized for mobileMobile-friendly and responsive
Data BindingUses two-way data bindingUses unidirectional data flow with optional two-way binding
Dependency InjectionLimited supportStrong dependency injection system
DOM ManipulationUses Directives (ng-model, ng-bind) heavily for DOM manipulationUses Component-based approach, reducing direct DOM manipulation
Tooling & FeaturesUses older build toolsUses modern tools like Angular CLI, RxJS, and Webpack
Backward CompatibilityNot backward compatible with AngularAngular supports updates via Angular CLI

Summary:

  • AngularJS is the older version (1.x), mainly JavaScript-based, and follows an MVC architecture.
  • Angular (2+) is the modern version, rewritten in TypeScript, with a component-based structure, improved performance, and better tooling.
