This JS or that JS

JavaScript is one of the core web technologies used today, and most of the modern web browsers support it. Alongside HTML and CSS it powers a number of websites that require modern features required by today’s businesses.

JavaScript has evolved over decades and today has so many adaptations that it could be overwhelming to select one that is best suited for your business requirements.

Here are some of the most common JS tools that you could use to make your website just right:

Angular JS

Maintained by Google, AngularJS is basically a JavaScript based open source front end web application framework used to address many of the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications. It is a complete toolset that is used for building a framework – which is most suitable for your app. It is fully extensible and works well with other libraries too. That is why every feature can be modified or replaced to suit your business’ unique requirements.

NodeJS

NodeJS is a cross platform, open source JavaScript run time environment that is used to execute JavaScript on the server side. It uses an event driven – non blocking I/O model and is hence very lightweight and known for its efficiency. It is built on Chrome V8 Java Script Engine. Today, it is extensively used to create highly flexible and scalable applications.

ExpressJS

ExpressJS is basically a web application framework for node.js and is used particularly to build web applications and APIs. It provides a robust set of features and yet is minimal in its own way. APIs can be developed quickly and easily.

MongoDB

Mongo DB is an open source, no-SQL database program that uses JSON documents along with schemas – it does not store data in tables. It is a perfect solution for large scale document management – especially for apps that require real time processing.

ReactJS

React.js is basically an open source JavaScript library for building user interfaces for applications. It is currently being used to power some of the most popular web applications such as Netflix, Imgur, Bleacher, Walmart etc. It is maintained by Facebook and Instagram a community of developers. One huge difference developers see is that they can create large web application that use data which can change over time – without having to reload the page. It’s known to be fast, simple and scalable. Remember that React processes only user interfaces within applications and uses the MVC (Model-view-Controller) template. It’s usually used with Angular JS.

FabricJS

Fabric.js is a JavaScript HTML5 canvas library. It provides an interactive object model on top of canvas element. It has a built in SVG to canvas and canvas to SVG parser. Well, it is a very simple yet powerful tool for building attractive designs.
