Angular vs React vs Vue in 2023. Pros & Cons, Tips on how to choose the right framework for you

When you are starting a new website, an app, or a saas project, there is a lot of confusion in your mind related to the technology involved. You would want the best technology stack and javascript framework for your idea. In this blog, we would give you a clear understanding of three very key javascript frameworks in web development — React vs Angular vs Vue. There are many other frameworks but these are the most used ones.

This will help you decide which is the best front-end stack platform to go for your project. Here is a quick content for you:

Angular Framework, What’s New in 2022?

It was built By Google in 2009 by Misko Hevery and Adam Abrons. It is one of the biggest frameworks in comparison with others following an MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework. It has a wide choice of in-built features, Angular allows you to build, manage and test your app much more efficiently. This makes it a complete platform rather than a framework as a standalone. In 2016, Angular 2 was released, dropping the JS. Now it’s just called Angular. Angular uses the NgRx project inspired by Redux for its state management.

Benefits of Using Angular

Angular is ideal to create large enterprise applications.
It is quickly expandable, and scalable.

A drawback of Using Angular

Thus it can sometimes be very hard to find developers.
Due to its complete platform support, any new update release can sometimes be a hindrance to a new developer.

Popular Apps built with Angular

  • Gmail
  • PayPal
  • Microsoft XBOX
  • UpWork

When should you use Angular?

When you have a feature-rich project, more complex apps, and require a large amount of programming codebase, Angular is a better platform.

React Framework, What’s new in 2022?

React was developed and maintained by Facebook in 2013 by Jordan Walke. It is a UI rendering library, & not a complete framework. React elements are the building blocks of React app. It is based on JSX which is a combined version of Javascript and HTML and is easy to use and implement. It is a part of the MERN stack containing MongoDB, ExpressJS, Reacts, and NodeJS. React ecosystem is so intuitive and contains React Native which can help you build iOS and Android applications within the same written code in React.

Benefits of Using React Framework

React is one of the most popular javascript frameworks.
It has its own SSR (server-service rendering) of ReactDOM with VirtualDOM.
It is easy to break up apps into smaller divisions that can be reused.
It is easy to learn and implement.

A drawback of Using React Framework

It’s just a UI library and not a complete framework.
It is difficult to build more complex enterprise applications under React.

Popular Apps built with React

  • Netflix
  • WhatsApp
  • Facebook
  • Instagram

When should you use React?

React is built with the support of multiple UI rendering libraries. So it’s very useful for MVP development, Smaller and Medium sized projects. As it’s faster to implement and requires very less coding in comparison to Vue & Angular frameworks.

Vue Framework, What’s New in 2022?

Vue is not built by any giants, though it was created by an ex-google employee. it is an open-source community-driven framework. Comparatively, it’s much smaller than Angular but better than React. It has gained a lot of popularity in recent times due to its intuitive nature and highly customizable functionalities. Also due to its open-source support, the community is focused on providing better support.

Benefits of Using Vue Framework

Vue is easy to learn.
The development process is faster and simpler.

Drawbacks of Using Vue Framework

Code quality is poor and debugging becomes difficult.
Libraries are limited in nature and very few third-party support is available.

When should you use Vue?

It can be used for multiple applications, but it would be recommended for Single page apps as it’s fast and content can be updated easily. It is easy to implement high-performance but small and light applications. It’s an apt framework to use.

Popular Apps built with Vue

  • GitLab
  • Nintendo
  • Behance
  • Adobe Portfolio

Which is best — Angular Vs React Vs Vue?

If it’s a small Medium & intuitive web application then React is the best platform to start.
If there are enterprise-level or developing complex applications that would involve a lot of customers and will have multiple functionalities then Angular is the right framework, to begin with.
If you want SPAs with faster content changes then the Vue framework is the right one.
