Is the MEAN Stack the best technological stack for your Web Application Development?

1. Is  the MEAN Stack the best technological stack  for your Web Application Development? Presented By, Infinijith Apps & Technologies www.infinijith.com

2. MEAN Stack • MEAN is a JavaScript-based technology stack for building websites and web apps that are dynamic • A stack is a set of elements grouped to perform particular functions on app development •  MEAN applications can use one language for both server-side and client-side environments as they support all programs in JavaScript • So, it is an added advantage of using the MEAN stack for your web applications.

3. MEAN Stack Application Architecture The architecture of the MEAN is well explained by these four components 

4. MongoDB • MongoDB is a database for storing data. •  Using JavaScript as a query programming language, MongoDB stores any size data without causing interruptions in the stack. •  It is a cross-platform data storing system.  • Therefore, the website or web applications can use MongoDB for saving all the data in the app as it is also enclosed with JavaScript.

5. Express.js • Any application development includes front-end (client-side) development and back-end (server-side) development along with the database to control the data. • Express.js aka Express is taking care of the back-end development of the MEAN stack application. • It is a web application framework for Node.js that serves fast and secured web apps and also helps to make the development process simple and easy. 

6. Angular • AngularJS is a popular front-end (client-side) framework for developing web applications. •  Built by Google, AngularJS is the most used framework by the developers. •  The Angular js (the first version) is upgraded to many new versions like Angular 2 to Angular 9, and Angular is still in the process because of its modularity. • It provides many modules for a single application. 

7. Node.js • Node.js is a runtime environment based on JavaScript for developing faster applications.  • As an opensource and server-side (back-end) platform, Node.js is used to build scalable applications.  • As per stats, 28,000 websites are using this Node.js platform. • It serves as a backend for many popular business websites like eBay, AliExpress, etc., 

8. Working Process of MEAN Stack • Whenever the client requests in the application, it hits AngularJS as it is the client-side framework. • This request from AngularJS passes into Node.js, the back-end environment through the Express.js, a web framework for Node.js. • Express.js then allows the request to reach the database • MongoDB, where the database is controlled, accepts the request and sends the response to Express.js. • Finally, from Express.js to Node.js and from Node.js to AngularJS, the response will reach the user.

9. 7 Reasons for Using MEAN Stack for Web Applications

10. 1. Don’t overwhelm with multiple programming languages • Since JavaScript is applicable for both front-end and back-end development, the MEAN stack developers find it easy to implement this technology in the app development.  • This one simple language will help you to save time without focusing on multiple languages.

11. 2. Develop flexible applications • Another important point in the MEAN stack is its flexibility feature. • Due to the higher flexibility in MEAN stack, it can be helpful for a single app to enterprise app development. •  This flexibility is not only useful in development part but also plays a vital role during the testing process.

12. 3. See better performance in the apps • MongoDB will add any new element easily by controlling the database. Express.js is well worked with Node.js.  • Since Node.js is providing optimal performance than existing platforms, Node.js can run in different operating systems easily. • Also, the front-end part, Angular is taking care of testing, reusable code, etc., • In simple, Node.js and Angular is a powerful pack of MEAN stack frameworks that improves the performance of the application.

13. 4. JSON is being used • JSON or JavaScript Object Notation is used in both AngularJS and Node.js. • JSON is a kind of file or data interchange format that is used in MEAN stack to exchange the data without issues in all layers of the application.  • This is an added benefit.

14. 5. Cloud compatibility and integration • MongoDB is the best choice for cloud-based technologies. •  Also, the four components in the MEAN stack are available free, it helps in reducing the development cost and memory. •  MongoDB helps in reducing disk space costs by providing better cloud solutions.

15. 6. Isomorphic coding is integrated • With the help of isomorphic coding and MEAN stack features, transferring code from one framework to another framework is made easier. • It is a top feature for web application development.

16. 7. High speed and cost-effective

17. MEAN Stack Examples

19. Final Words • MEAN is the best technology stack to create websites or web applications.  • So, without wasting time in using multiple languages and frameworks for your application, you can give a try to this MEAN stack as it has many useful advantages to enhance your app features.  • Infinijith is a leading mean stack development company where we provide you the mean stack and full-stack development services for your business based on customer-friendly features and MEAN stack technology.  • You can hire mean stack developers to build your web applications.
