While JS is the shortened version of JavaScript, AngularJS is the front-end framework written in JavaScript. It was originally developed in 2009 by Misko Hevery who was working at Google at the time. He, and two other developers, were assigned to work on Google Feedback. Together, they wrote over 17,000 lines of code which felt frustrating as it was too long and complicated. Hevery bet his manager that he can rewrite the code using GetAngular, the original name of AngularJS, in two weeks. In the end, he took 3 weeks instead of 2, but the code was dramatically shortened to only 1,500 lines, which was enough to gain interest from Google, which now maintains the open-source library AngularJS.
Today, AngularJS is used to build single-page mobile, web apps, and websites.
AngularJS has facilitated your life with one simple feature, or lack thereof: page reload. Remember when you are notified right away when a new email, new message, submitting a registration, or other updates to the page without having to reload? That’s a sign you’re on a web application or website based on AngularJS!
A Javascript library that accomplishes the same purpose as AngularJS is React, developed by Facebook. At Dirox, our developers are comfortable working with any open-source library preferred for your project.
One of the benefits of picking up AngularJS is that it’s easy to learn for those already familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After learning the framework, building a web application is so much faster. With the two-way binding feature which immediately synchronizes the view and the model, the presentation layer of your application will be significantly simplified. Since it is a framework for single-page applications, it supports all of the features to build it. And because it is maintained by Google, it is also supported by the big tech company.

The short answer is no! Angular is a complete rewrite by the creators of AngularJS, but they are two different things. Although they’re both based on the same principle, they have different purposes.
AngularJS is sometimes confused for Angular Type-Script which focuses on the development of web applications rather than single-page applications.
One example is e-newspapers like The Guardian with 300 million monthly visitors that add over 20 thousand images to CMS daily! They have developed a Grid to manage their images using AngularJS, now available on Github and adopted by other online publishing papers.
E-newspapers aren’t the only ones benefiting from AngularJS, what about the website building applications like WordPress and Wix? Other examples include PayPal, Upwork, Gmail, Netflix, and more.
By looking at all these examples, it can be seen that AngularJS is everywhere among us.
AngularJS is a framework but can often be mistaken for a library as it is much more lightweight than an ordinary framework is. It is built fully in JavaScript and for the client-side.
On the other side, React - which serves the same purpose as AngularJS - is a library, not a framework.
Surprisingly, the fact that it totally depends on JavaScript can become a disadvantage. If browsers decide that JavaScript is problematic and hide it, the page will now seem like a basic static page.
While AngularJS is easy to learn, many come to realize it is so vast and open that there are many ways to build a feature so it’s difficult to figure out the most optimized way. Also, Internet Explorer 8.0 doesn’t support AngularJS.
