MongoDB – NoSQL database for data storage.
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
1. Frontend (Angular)
Uses components, services, and directives.
Reactive programming with RxJS.
2. Backend (Node.js + Express.js)
Handles API requests and logic.
Manages authentication and middleware processes.
3. Database (MongoDB)
Flexible schema for handling various data structures.
Works well with JSON-like objects.
