Angular Verses React

Name Description
Architecture Angular is a complete framework, meaning it comes with a lot of built-in functionality out of the box, including routing, form validation, and dependency injection. React, on the other hand, is a library that focuses on the view layer of an application and does not come with built-in functionality for other parts of the application.
Language Angular is written in TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. React is written in JavaScript, which is a dynamic language that does not have static typing.
Templating Angular uses HTML templates to define the user interface of an application, which are then compiled into JavaScript code at runtime. React uses JSX, which allows developers to write HTML-like code directly in their JavaScript files.
State management Angular has built-in support for managing application state using RxJS observables and a centralized store called NgRx. React relies on external libraries like Redux to manage state.
Learning curve Angular has a steeper learning curve due to its larger feature set and the use of TypeScript. React has a simpler API and can be easier to learn, especially for developers already familiar with JavaScript.
