Angular is very new, but a promising platform, that has attracted the attention of large companies who’ve released their apps already. It is interesting because of its simplicity compared to developing web applications, and because of its speed as compared with native applications.

Unlike many other popular mobile platforms, Angular doesn’t use JavaScript in any way. Dart is the programming language. It compiles to binary code, and that’s why it runs with the native performance of Objective-C, Swift, Java or Kotlin.

Angular uses a declarative approach, inspired by the React web framework, to build its UI based on widgets (named “components” in the world of the web). To get more out of widgets, they are rendered only when necessary, usually when their state has been changed (just like the Virtual DOM does for us).

You might assume that every cross-platform framework can perform some things and offers some features essential for the job, and you have a point. But! Angular is a bit different from its competitors in some key aspects. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Angular app development better than other frameworks.

Same UI and Business Logic in All Platforms Reduced Code Development Time Increased Time-to-Market Speed Similar to Native App Performance Custom, Animated UI of Any Complexity Available
