Comparing React, Vue, and Angular: Which One is Right for You?

⚛️ React – Library

• Created by: Facebook (Meta)
• Type: UI library
• Focus: Just the View layer (the "V" in MVC)
• You build components, React handles rendering and updates via the Virtual DOM
• You choose your own tools for routing, state management, HTTP calls, etc.
• Gives flexibility and freedom, but you need to assemble your own stack (like using React Router, Redux, Axios, etc.)

✅Great if you want more control over how your app is structured.

🔺Angular – Framework

• Created by: Google
• Type: Full-fledged framework
• Everything included: Routing, form validation, HTTP, dependency injection, testing, etc.
• Uses TypeScript by default
• Comes with a stricter structure, good for enterprise-level apps

✅ Great if you want an all-in-one solution out of the box.

🟩Vue – Progressive Framework

• Created by: Evan You (formerly worked on Angular at Google)
• Type: Framework (but “progressive” – can start small like a library)
• Simpler and lighter than Angular, but more batteries-included than React
• Has built-in tools like Vue Router and Vuex (state management)

✅ Great middle ground — easier learning curve, with flexibility and structure.
