React which was developed by Facebook is a JavaScript library that facilitates the creation of interactive user interfaces. It uses server-side rendering to provide a flexible, performance-oriented solution and is unidirectional. Angular was developed by Google and is a structural framework (as opposed to just being a library) for developing dynamic web apps. It is bidirectional.
