MEAN Stack

Overview

MEAN is another JavaScript-based full-stack technology stack that includes:

• 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.

Use Cases

• Enterprise-grade applications.
• Content Management Systems (CMS).
• Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).
• Data-intensive applications.
