AngularJS vs Angular vs ReactJS vs VueJS in 2019
JavaScript Frameworks are developing at an extremely fast pace and new improvements are being introduced at a much higher rate. The new frameworks are getting more matured and more intuitive than their peers. For example lets consider the scenario of VueJS which is relatively new has learned from its peers' success and drawbacks like Angular and React to be one of the most growing in popularity JS Framework out there due to learning from all the mistakes that Angular and React are making. Lets dive into the direct comparison for these frameworks to see which might be suitable for your project in 2019.
| # | Parameter | AngularJS | Angular | ReactJS | VueJS |
| 1 | Came into use | 2009 | 2016 | 2012 | 2014 |
| 2 | Architecture | MVC | Components Based | Facebooks Own Flux Architecture | MVC |
| 3 | JavaScript or TypeScript Based | JavaScript | TypeScript | TypeScript | Flexible |
| 4 | Learning Curve | Moderate | Steep | Relatively Moderate | Easiest |
| 5 | Performance | Slow | 5x faster than AngularJS | Faster Than Angular | Blazing Fast |
| 6 | Data-Binding | Two-way | Two-way | One-way | Two-way |
| 7 | Documentation | Good | Very Good | Extremely Well Documented | Excellent Documentation |
| 8 | Community Support | Excellent | Good | Very Good | Average |
| 9 | Framework Size | Heavy | Extremenly Heavy | Fair | Very Tiny |
| 10 | AJAX Support | Own $http directives | Has own HttpClientModule | AXIOS | AXIOS |
| 11 | Scalability | Moderate | High | Average | High |
| 12 | Readability | Complex | Moderate | Moderately Easy | Moderate |
| 13 | VirtualDOM / Direct DOM | Direct DOM | Direct DOM | Virtual DOM | Virtual DOM |
| 14 | Reusability | Complex | Components can be reused | Components can be reused | Components can be reused |
| 15 | Use Case Scenario | Moderate Sized Applications | Very High Scaled Applications | High Scaled Applications | Best for medium and High Scaled Applications |
| 16 | Popularity | Declining | Moderately High | Very High | Less popular |
| 17 | Job Share in Market | Outdated | 21% | 71% | 8% |
| 18 | Companies Using | Outdated | Microsoft, Apple, PayPal, Adobe, Youtube | Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Dropbox | Grammarly, Gitlab, Behance, Airbnb, Xiaomi |
| 19 | Drawbacks | Outdated | Variety of structures causes long learning curve | Lack of guidelines for best coding practices | Lack of resources in market |
| 20 | Advantages | Old so tons of exapmles | Well structured so highly scalable | Most of the code can be reused for ReactNative | No clunky libraries so blazing fast performance |
So as you can see that I have tried to cover the maximum points that should be considered for taking under considerations for your project to choose the best suitable framework. If you are a job seeker then this article can help you which framework to be chosen for starting a job however currently even if VueJS is not that much popular but its gaining popularity among the developer community for its ease and simplicity. A hobbyist can get hands wet as soons as possible on VueJS without much learning and can complete small projects within the shortest time as compared to other frameworks if you are new to all these frameworks.
CONCLUSION:-
For a real developer, there is no substantial difference in which framework to choose, because it just takes some time to get used to the new one. In our company, we grow expertise in mostly Angular, but Vue.js is also on board. Every framework has its own pros and cons, meaning that there should be just the right choice for every single case during product development.
