Angular is a framework that you can use to build applications using HTML and JavaScript/TypeScript.
Some call it a web framework as a result.
Using Angular will involve accessing the various libraries that make up the framework.
As the documentation on angular.io indicates,
"You write Angular applications by
- composing HTML templates with Angularized markup,
- writing component classes to manage those templates,
- adding application logic in services, and
- boxing components and services in modules.
Then you launch the app by bootstrapping the root module.
Angular takes over,
- presenting your application content in a browser and
- responding to user interactions according to the instructions you've provided."
If you were asked to explain Angular in a nutshell, you might say that it is a framework that simplifies the creation of
- rich,
- interactive,
- client-side
web applications, using data binding.
