The comparison of React and Angular frameworks for web application development

Cilj rada bio je napraviti detaljnu analizu i usporedbu React i Angular radnih okvira putem 7 stavki. One su: Programski jezik koji je korišten, kako funkcionira proces renderiranja, izgled i rad komponenti, upravljanje stanjem podataka, kako rade forme i zahtjevi na API te složenost postupka učenja. Radi usporedbe, napravljene su dvije identične web aplikacije svaka u svome radnom okviru, koristeći Spring Boot za poslužiteljsku stranu. Zaključak rada je da React dopušta više slobode i fleksibilnosti u korištenju tehnologija te pruža razne mogućnosti koje olakšavaju razvijanje web aplikacije, dok je Angular sveobuhvatni radni okvir koji zahtjeva korištenje ugrađenih svojstava koja su odlično integrirana i optimizirana. Na kraju sve ovisi o želji programera i preferenciji jer s tehničke strane oba radna okvira odlično funkcioniraju.The goal of the paper was to make a detailed analysis and comparison of React and Angular frameworks through 7 items. They are: The programming language used, how the rendering process works, the appearance and operation of components, data state management, how forms and API requests work, and the complexity of the learning process. For comparison, two identical web applications were created, each in its own framework using Spring Boot for the server side. The conclusion of the work is that React allows more freedom and flexibility in the use of technology and provides various options that facilitate the development of web applications, while Angular is a comprehensive framework that requires the use of built-in properties that are well integrated and optimized. In the end, everything depends on the developer’s wishes and preferences, because from the technical side, both frameworks work great
