NodeJs and AngularJs both are widely used nowadays for application development. There are significant differences between both of them.
The following are the important differences between NodeJS and AngularJS.
Sr. No.
Key
NodeJS
AngularJS
1
Type
NodeJs basically is a cross-platform run-time environment that is required for applications written in JavaScript language.
While AngularJs is a framework that is open source and used for web application development. This framework is developed by Google.
2
Required Environment
Need to install node.js on the system in order to run NodeJs applications.
No need to install any other external application just need to add AngularJS file just like any other JavaScript file to use it in applications.
3
Supported language
NodeJs is written mainly in C, C++, and JavaScript.Also, Node.js supports non-blocking input/output API and event-driven architecture.
AngularJS is written entirely only in JavaScript.It also allows extending the existing HTML's syntax for further application development.
4
Type of Applications
NodeJs primarily used to create server-side networking applications.
On the other hand, AngularJs is best suited for building single-page client-side web applications.
5
Implemented Frameworks
NodeJs is being implemented by many frameworks such as Sails.js, Partial.js, and Express.js.
On the other hand, AngularJS is itself a web application framework and is not implemented by any other framework.
6
Preferred
Node.js will be useful in situations when something faster and more scalable is needed.
Angular is useful in creating real-time applications like instant messaging or chat apps.
