- Express.js – Server-side framework for API handling.
- Angular – Frontend framework for building structured and scalable UI.
- Node.js – JavaScript runtime for backend processing.
Key Features
- Uses TypeScript in Angular for better code organization.
- Two-way data binding in Angular ensures automatic UI updates.
- Supports MVC architecture for maintainability.
- Node.js and MongoDB ensure high performance and scalability.
Architecture
- Frontend (Angular)
- Uses components, services, and directives.
- Reactive programming with RxJS.
- Backend (Node.js + Express.js)
- Handles API requests and logic.
- Manages authentication and middleware processes.
- Database (MongoDB)
- Flexible schema for handling various data structures.
- Works well with JSON-like objects.
Use Cases
- Enterprise-grade applications.
- Content Management Systems (CMS).
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).
- Data-intensive applications.
