Angular is one of the most loved technologies by developers. From time to time, developers have found themselves in the tiresome situation of creating the same program or application for web and mobile platforms (native), while keeping the project files separately for each of them. It is tiresome to code the same thing twice, and it’s no wonder developers for years have wanted a technology that can allow them to share the resources between different projects in one place and also keep the codes separate for each platform. Hence Angular was born.

The back-to-back success of Angular projects and regular updates are released, adding more attractive features to the framework.
Two of the best technology frameworks React and Angular when compared to performance factor showed that Angular still has a lead on it with 59% market share. But what makes Angular framework the best. What are the different factors that are loved by the around the world?
1.User Experience
Angular 7 is the latest version of Angular framework, and there is no doubt that the numerous components of the material design are optimized and developed to make the user experience more seamless with Angular.
Angular 7 bestows a lot of faster experience for the developers. It is reliable and has the capacity to deliver the users an experience live you have never seen before on the desktop and mobile web browsers. The components are so entirely compatible with the server-side rendering.
Talking specifically of the material design, the angular framework has made the experience more rewarding for the UI & UX developers. It is now more aesthetically pleasing.
2.Simple and Declarative User Interface
The application user interface is defined by the use of HTML. The language is intuitive, simple and declarative. It is much easier to code in HTML than JavaScript as it is more comprehensive and organizable.
The benefit here is that several developers not only get to work on the same project but also can collaborate efficiently by avoiding any major mistake in the developer’s user interfaces.
3.Performance and Speed
With the angular framework, you get faster loading. The angular framework has done a great job on the server-side rendering, web workers and code-splitting, which gives it the speed. For example, the web workers in Angular made it possible for users to have the offline capacity to receive and service using a cache, while the code splitter used Component Router that allows code splitting.
It helps developers to load only the code that is needed to render the requested view. Furthermore, the bounce rates and app abandonment rate are very less in the applications built on Angular. It focuses more on enhancing the app responsiveness. It enhances the user experience to a great extent. More time spent on the app, the better is your app ranking on the app stores, who would not want that kind of advantage.
4.SEO Friendliness of the Framework
SEO is one of the most challenging aspects of digital marketing, and people have always struggled with it. Apparently, the application quality and the technology used in the development of the application has a great role in defining your SEO ranking. You must be aware of how WordPress is one of the most SEO-friendly technology. But so is Angular now.
Backed by Google, it is no wonder that the team Google has paid great attention to the SEO challenges faced by the companies. With a server-side rending, which is knowns as Angular Universal, Angular is providing a great advantage in SEO.
The very first view of your application is served in plain CSS and HTML, all made possible by the Angular framework. If your application is using Angular, the search engine will render and crawl the content, enabling all the social media platforms to show an image preview of the application efficiently.
5.Faster development
We started this blog with a problem. And how angular is slowing. Angular has made coding faster and also reduced the problems that are faced by the developers. Angular is one framework that has made it possible to write less code, reuse code time again and again, and this has made the life of developers so much easier.
Moreover, the coders have had a perfect opportunity to test the code while writing in the parallel setup, allowing them to use and reuse the other developer codes with facing the challenges in the integration process.
The angular framework has made development faster, and also reduced the time needed in preparing an app and loading it on the app stores. You can simply make additions of the attributes to the HTML code, and you will have an app. Reduced time, reduced cost and more perfection, it is a developer’s dream come true.
6.App Maintenance
App maintenance is relatively easy on Angular than any other frontend framework. The framework has adopted the object-oriented design into application development. It uses the model as the source approach, and thus rendering the application makes it very easy to maintain.
7.Optimized Security for Responsive Web Applications
Security is voted as a top trend consecutively, year by year since 2019. 2021 is no different. You have to make your applications secure, and the old applications have to be replaced with the new ones sooner than later.
Angular uses HTTPS interface; it can be either in the form of single web service of RESTful API; this improves the communication with the server extensively. Also, the server that can allow the $http Angular protection module is now safeguarded against scripting attacks across the sites—additional benefits in the adoption of the strict expression evaluation for minimizing the client-side security concerns.
8.Leverages Existing Data
Additionally, choosing the Angular framework for application development allows you to use the already existing data management system. When using the RESTful API, angular applications will allow users to gain access to the underlying database.
It makes swapping easier of the already existing frontend code while maintaining the internal APIs in the appropriate positions.
