The world of internet is predominantly owned by the programmers. The one programming language that is rapidly changing and bringing change at an accelerating speed is JavaScript. The React and Angular are the big platforms that every novice and veteran programmer is engaged with. A new debate is being raised in the programming world that which language is comparatively easy to use. As both React and Angular are highly advanced and are used globally. This article does a comparison of both the languages to find out which one is easier for programmers to grasp upon.

Both Angular and React are single page applications. Angular is fully-featured MVC framework, developed and maintained by Google whereas React is an open source JS library which is developed and maintained by Facebook. The tool chain in React is high as compared to Angular where it is low. Angular has a high learning curve whereas React has a low which takes time for the developer to master initially. The data flow control in React is one way whereas in Angular it is two-way which makes it complex when dealing with the large application. Debugging sometimes can be the toughest thing to do. Angular’s runtime debugging tends to provide less information than React’s assemble time debugging.

According to me i like both react and angular both have even own specialties. which made them first choice of developers. But yes i must that if you once come in react and did some projects and spend some of your time over it. then you love to have it !!
