Angular taps into some of the best aspects of server-side development and uses them to enhance HTML in the browser, creating a foundation that makes building rich applications simpler and easier. Angular applications are built around a design pattern called Model-View-Controller (MVC), which places an emphasis on creating applications that are
- Extendable: It is easy to figure out how even a complex Angular app works once you understand the basics—and that means you can easily enhance applications to create new and useful features for your users.
- Maintainable: Angular apps are easy to debug and fix, which means that long-term maintenance is simplified.
- Testable: Angular has good support for unit and end-to-end testing, meaning that you can find and fix defects before your users do.
- Standardized: Angular builds on the innate capabilities of the web browser without getting in your way, allowing you to create standards-compliant web apps that take advantage of the latest features (such as HTML5 APIs) and popular tools and frameworks.
