React vs Angular - fundamental differences
React (Meta)
- What it is: Library for building UI
- Architecture: Component-based, JSX
- State: You choose (Redux, Zustand, Context)
- Philosophy: "We give you blocks, build as you want"
Angular (Google)
- What it is: Full framework
- Architecture: Component-based, modules, DI
- State: Services + RxJS (built-in)
- Philosophy: "We have opinions, follow them"
When to choose React?
1
Startups and MVPs
Quick start, low barrier to entry. Less boilerplate at the beginning = faster to market.
2
Team with JS experience
React is "just JavaScript". Fewer new concepts to learn than Angular.
When to choose Angular?
1
Large enterprise applications
Complex forms, complicated business logic. Angular's forms module is powerful.
2
Team with Java/.NET experience
Dependency Injection, classes, decorators - Angular is closer to backend mentality.
