Benefits of developing a Single Page Web Applications using AngularJS

March 31, 2016

Navigating through a web application can be a nagging experience, especially when you have a limited data plan. When the data speed is sluggish, it is very agonizing to wait for the page to load. If you are planning to develop a webpage that enhances the overall experience for a viewer, integrating Single Page web Application technique using Angular JS comes very handy.

Why develop Single Page web Applications using Angular JS

Angular JS is a Java Script framework. It is more preferred and extensively used over other frameworks like Backbone.js, Ember.js, Meteor, or React owing to the ease of optimization and simple integration. Angular JS does not involve the task of performing a closed DOM translation. Here are top reasons why Angular JS is a sensible choice to develop a Single Page web Application (SPA).

Of course because its Open-source Framework

Structured MVC based framework

Angular JS features the potent characteristic elements of HTML, CSS and JQuery. Perfectly suited for client-side technology, this open source model is maintained by Google and community. It evolves the HTML elements from their dynamic state and makes them more expressive using derivatives. Despite its open source template, Angular JS completely eliminates the need to make a round trip around the server to regain new HTML presentation content.

Easy Data Binding

UI Controller concept separates UI data and the UI representation of data

Use of Angular JS in developing a SPA improves the testability of the application owing to easier decoupling of data that can be viewed as DOM element and HTML. The developer can easily identify the logic controlling the data and separate them easily. Hence, the division of UI element and its representation makes viewing a more powerful experience than other frameworks.

Get a desired UI

Seamless binding to manage data and DOM

It is possible due to the seamless binding allowing maximum transport of code during front end development, where translation of data to DOM and vice versa occurs. This framework allows the developer of the SPA to not just view, manage and control data but also separate the controller and the code to derive a desired UI effect.
Angular JS’s seamless compatibility is what makes it a preferred choice for building client-side web applications too.

Multiple Page Routing in a Single page app

Get multiple views on a single page using different URLs

Angular JS defines the look and navigation of a web page application using Angular Routes. Single page apps are earning popularity providing a feel of smartphone application. Angular JS’s routing capabilities help in setting up a customised template and a controller to view each part of the application in a single page.

Save on Project delivery at lesser effort

Lesser code lines in Angular JS

Development and testing of a SPA is incredibly swift with Angular JS framework. It can handle project’s initial framework effectively. You can add animations and transitions anytime during the project to build a powerful website as well as applications. Designers and developers with Java Script experience prefer Angular JS to create rich web experience in a short time.

Easy Integration and maintenance with other frameworks

Multi-Level Server communications

Angular used in SPA projects create a smooth communication with the server at a low-level as well as rich built-in mechanisms using RESTful services.
The $http service is a core element in Angular that builds communication with the remote HTTP server.
It provides other basic functionalities like:

GET
POST
HEAD
DELETE
PUT
JSNOP

Angular JS API uses PROMISE interface to communicate with the server side that ensures proper return of response from time to time. Angular JS provides many custom methods to create new models that the server can attach and return as a response.

For an exhilarating single page application, AJAX communication with Angular JS framework works wonders.
