1. System Architecture:
- Node.js is a runtime environment used for executing JavaScript on the server-side. It allows developers to write server-side scripts in JavaScript to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user’s web browser.
- AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It’s a toolset for building the framework most suited to the client-side development.
1. Language:
- Node.js is written in C, C++, and JavaScript.
- AngularJS is completely written in JavaScript.
1. Purpose:
- Node.js is used mainly for non-blocking, event-driven servers, due to its single-thread nature. It’s used for traditional websites and back-end API services.
- AngularJS is used for making single-page client-side web applications.
1. Data Interaction:
- Node.js can directly interact with databases, manipulate data and store it, something that AngularJS alone cannot do (it would need an additional server-side technology to interact with databases).
1. Rendering:
- Node.js initializes the server-side rendering of static pages.
- AngularJS initializes the client-side rendering.
1. Use Cases:
- Node.js is ideal for building scalable and high-performance applications, developing server-side and networking applications, or when you need a fast and scalable environment.
- AngularJS is best suited for building single-page client-side web applications, creating CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) applications, and when you want to build in-browser dynamic views using JavaScript.
