What is AngularJS Good For?

What is AngularJS?

AngularJS is an Open-source Front-end JavaScript-based framework which is maintained by Google and by a community of individuals and corporations. AngularJS widely used to create Single-Page Applications, a web application or we can say a website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page rather than loading the entire website from a server. This is possible by using the Model–View–Controller. It makes use of Model–View–Controller and reduce the amount of JavaScript needed to reduce the loading time and make web applications functional. The power of angular comes from its two-way data binding technique which allows complete separation of the data model and view for user interaction.
