One of the most popular Javascript frameworks for professional web development is AngularJS. It is a Google community powered open source web application platform. AngularJS is a complete solution for rapid front-end development and it's great for single page applications (SPA) and web applications that don’t require anything more than HTML, CSS and JavaScript. AngularJS is a well-maintained and robust framework. But the web has changed noticeably and no doubt it will continue changing in the future as well. The previous version of AngularJS cannot work with the new web components like custom elements, HTML imports, shadow DOM etc. which allow developers to create fully encapsulated custom elements.
What is Angular 2.0?
Angular 2.0 is the full-platform successor to Google’s Angular 1.x web application framework, made for building complex applications in browsers and beyond. First announced in October 2014, the complete and final version of Angular 2.0 was just released in September 2016. Angular 2.0 is based on newer JavaScript standards, bringing a better, faster, more powerful framework to developers all over the world
Angular 2.0 gives companies a framework to consolidate development. All of the different frameworks move very fast, with JavaScript, in particular, being a “wild west” of sorts. This can be incredibly overwhelming to companies that have long lead application development cycles, which can take years to complete. These companies want something stable that they can rely on – and that’s where Angular 2.0 comes in. It allows developers to pick one framework and use it for a plethora of different applications. Angular 2.0 offers the consolidation and consistency that mobile app development needs.
In terms of mobile developers themselves, Angular 2.0 allows developers to teach and learn one framework for the web instead of needing team members that have multiple different skill sets. You’re able to use the Angular 2.0 framework to build almost everything you need to develop solid mobile applications.
Angular 2.0 is shaping the future of web application development and streamlining development as whole
Web developers today have to assemble a dizzying set of libraries and frameworks in order to ship a modern application.Angular 2.0 aims to ease these pains by providing a framework that provides much of this functionality out of the box.
Additionally, Angular 2.0 opens doors to other programs that some developers wouldn’t have ever had experience with. One of the reasons that the Angular 2.0 team built it the way they did was to be tool-able.With Angular 1.x, it was all about building web apps but Angular 2.0 actually allows developers to expand what they’re doing and build on top of it. Angular 2.0 has already streamlined web app development as a whole.
Let’s talk about main benefits of Angular 2.0
Angular 2.0 actually allows developers to expand what they’re doing and build on top of it.
Angular 2.0 has already streamlined web app development as a whole.
Angular 2.0 is a big step forward for the Angular framework, in terms of revamped and improved core architecture, observer pattern and data binding model, faster performance (up to 10x times), and concepts for (UI) components.
Angular 2.0 tends to work best in simple applications and deal with the significant amount of data. Shortly it’s perfect framework for applications of any complexity.
