Google created AngularJS, a JavaScript MVC framework, to create websites that has proper architectures and is easy to maintain. The reason why AngularJS is preferred is because it uses numerous concepts to organize the web apps. It also enhances the HTML by attaching the directives to the webpages with new tags so that the powerful templates in the directory can be easily defined. Owing to its dependency injection, this framework aids to structure and test the Java code quite conveniently. AngularJS is considered a powerful framework and this is its fundamental strength. Let’s explore why it is gathering so much popularity at such a fast pace or why the developers are taking it seriously while developing a plethora of applications.

JavaScript development

XAML Developers can work easily with it

XAML once became quite popular with the developers owing to the use of Silverlight, Windows and WPF app developments. The features present in it are also found in Angular as well. Here are the reasons why the XAML became popular as a declarative language. It was used to instantiate set values and object graphs. Several kinds of objects (with properties) could be defined. Then a set can be marked for developing it. Most commonly the UI elements to be developed were controls and panels that generally create the display. By using XAML, the layout of UI can be made easily. This language is also used for data binding. As a result a relationship exists between the data as well as the presentation layer so that the components can avoid hard dependencies. These same features are also found in the Angular framework. This allows a separation of concerns that leads to a parallel flow of work amidst the various components, like, the markup for the user interface. It also fetches and processes data.

It mitigates the rituals and ceremony

Creating a text property to bind it to your user interface by using AngularJS is an easy task. It will also work with immediate effect by displaying what you have typed in the span. However, you will rarely have the luxury to build an app as simple as that but it explains how easily one can work out data binding with the help of this framework. There is hardly any elaborate ritual or ceremony associated with creating a model for data-binding. There is no need to derive anything from another object or declare the properties. The developers can simply pass what they already have to the framework. It will just work fine.

Declarative UI

HTML is utilized by this framework to define the user interface of an app. HTML is a declarative language which is quite intuitive. It defines the JavaScript development in a proper procedure as well as with lesser irregularities. HTML is also known to be less brittle while reorganizing. Moreover, several UI developers can be involved if a view is written in HTML. This is also required while executing the apps.

Dependencies are dealt with

The framework can take good care of the dependency injection. Testing and Single Page Application are the two areas where this feature works the best. Angular allows dividing the app into logical modules while testing which are initiated separately but can be dependent on each other. This helps the developers to bring in the modules that they need. The Single Page Applications make use of the dynamic loading. With Anugular it becomes easy to organize the apps as all you need to do is put in your requirement and the rest of the work is taken care of.

Data models do not need extra functions

Data models are POJO (Old JavaScript Objects). The properties can be altered or added directly on it. In this way the code looks cleaner. The traditional data models are responsible for server syncing and data persistence. But in this framework the data models are plain objects. These act like a cork board where the data is stored and retrieved from. These are known as scopes.

Due to these features AngularJS is considered as one of the most adaptive frameworks by the developers and can be applied to create impressive apps.
