Why choose Angular 2+ framework for your next enterprise project this year and beyond.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this post, we discuss one of the most popular <\/i>JavaScript frameworks<\/i> \u2014 Angular. We briefly touch upon its history, the transition from the <\/i>AngularJS framework<\/i> to Angular 2+, and explain why this tool is particularly suitable for building large-scale applications. <\/i><\/p>\n

The digital world has seen many trials and tribulations throughout its relatively short history. Many technologies and tools popular a couple of decades ago are now buried and forgotten.<\/p>\n

Take Flash, for example. Up until recently, it was the number one choice for building animated banners and websites. Now, it has been almost completely ousted by HTML5.<\/p>\n

One technology, though, stood the test of time, came out victorious, and now reigns supreme in the boundless expanse of the Internet. This is JavaScript. According to the latest Stack Overflow developer survey<\/a>, JavaScript has been named the most commonly used programming language for the eighth consecutive year.<\/p>\n

JavaScript Frameworks to Overcome the Language\u2019s Imperfections<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite the unprecedented popularity of this programming language, building websites and apps with pure or vanilla JavaScript is not the simplest of tasks. For one, a front-end developer has to type or copy and paste the same complex code structures over and over.<\/p>\n

This is not the worst headache, though. Once the state of an app changes (e.g., a user selects a checkbox), the whole of the user interface has to be updated<\/b>. That\u2019s a lot of work and a lot of time.  Front-end developers<\/a> have to think about browser compatibility as well. All this often results in long development cycles and slow performance.<\/p>\n

The community addressed the issue by creating JavaScript frameworks. These are superstructures built upon a platform \u2014 the JavaScript language. For a long time, the title of the most popular JavaScript framework was held by jQuery<\/a>, which is actually a library. However, it was not perfect and couldn’t handle state across several views<\/b>.<\/p>\n

A few attempts were made to find an appropriate solution to this problem (e.g., Knockout.js<\/a>). Finally, 2010 saw the birth of a new full-fledged JavaScript framework \u2014 AngularJS<\/a>, offering cutting-edge features like two-way data binding. It was a real breakthrough in web development.<\/p>\n

Angular 2+ \u2014 The Successor to the AngularJS Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The main benefit of AngularJS for front-end developers<\/a> was the ability to turn \u201clifeless\u201d HTML pages into \u201cliving,\u201d dynamic content with little effort<\/b>. Users could now work with web pages almost as if they were desktop software. That is, pages reacted to their actions immediately.<\/p>\n

For around five years, AngularJS met most front-end developers\u2019 needs. It still had a number of shortcomings, though, failing to address all the web  development pain points. For example, the performance of some apps was below par due to large sizes of Angular builds.<\/p>\n

This brought about the emergence of new, lighter JavaScript frameworks and libraries with modern features. The Angular team had to rise to the challenge, and it did. Just about five years ago, the release of a new, improved edition of the AngularJS framework was announced.<\/p>\n

It got the name of Angular 2 rather than something like AngularJS 2. This was because the new solution was a totally unique \u201canimal.\u201d There was no way to migrate automatically from one version of Angular to the other. They were worlds apart in the technological sense.<\/p>\n

Thus, front-end developers<\/a> were left with a choice: to switch to the new framework or continue using AngularJS. Most chose the former. This is clear from the same Stack Overflow survey<\/a>, where 54% of the web development community expressed their love for Angular 2+<\/a> and only 21.4% for the old faithful AngularJS framework.<\/p>\n

The Angular Framework Is the Best Option for Enterprise Projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every modern JavaScript framework is better suited for handling particular tasks. Angular is no exception. You can build any type <\/b>of app or website with this framework. That said, it\u2019s an especially good fit for large, resource-intensive projects aimed at meeting corporate requirements rather than at satisfying individual users\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons why the Angular framework shines in the enterprise arena is the programming language it uses \u2014 TypeScript<\/a>. It\u2019s built upon JavaScript, and its key benefit is adding strong types like interfaces to this underlying platform. If you\u2019ve ever programmed in languages such as Java, you will greatly appreciate this TypeScript\u2019s feature.<\/p>\n

It provides the required code security and maintainability, which is of extreme importance for enterprise applications. Front-end developers can easily spot mistakes in their code when building apps and fix them. That\u2019s a great improvement in comparison with pure JavaScript, where errors often crawl unnoticed into finished products.<\/p>\n

Thus, you\u2019ll want to choose Angular 2+ if you need a CRM to keep track of your customer data, an ERP to facilitate managing your business processes, or an efficient payment processing system.<\/p>\n

Choosing the Best Development Tool for an Enterprise Project: What the Angular Framework Offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are a number of important aspects as far as selecting a good development tool for an enterprise application is concerned, including:<\/p>\n
