MEAN
Angular tools stack to be the Front-face of the application or website, M.E.A.N.
The MEAN stack is a JavaScript-based framework for developing web applications. MEAN is named after MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node, the four key technologies that make up the layers of the stack.
- MongoDB - document database
- Express(.js) - Node.js web framework
- Angular(.js) - a client-side JavaScript framework
- Node(.js) - the premier JavaScript web server
The advantages of the MEAN stack,
MEAN applications can be used in many ways with a cross-platform write-once approach. While MEAN is particularly suited to real-time applications, particularly those running natively in the cloud and single-page (dynamic) web applications built in Angular.js, it can be used for other use cases such as:
- Workflow management tools
- News aggregation sites
- Todo and calendar applications
- Interactive forums

Since all the components are based on JavaScript and JSON, the integration between the components of the stack is intuitive and straightforward.
The E and A of MEAN (Express and Angular) are two of the most popular and well-supported JavaScript frameworks for back-end and front-end development, respectively. Express makes routing and managing HTTP requests and responses super easy, and includes great support for middleware to handle JSON endpoints and form posts. Angular is a powerful tool for building dynamic HTML pages that communicate with a back-end server.
Building a high-throughput API, a simple web application, or a microservice, MEAN is the ideal stack for building Node.js applications.
All of the MEAN stack components are open source in nature and therefore allow a generous, free-of-charge opportunity for developers.
MEAN is an open source web stack that is mainly used to create cloud-hosted applications. MEAN stack applications are flexible, scalable, and extensible, making them the perfect candidate for cloud hosting. The stack includes its own web server so it can be deployed easily, and the database can be scaled on demand to accommodate temporary usage spikes. A MEAN application enters the world optimized to take advantage of all the cost savings and performance improvements of the cloud.
JavaScript has long been a popular language for front-end web development—it’s flexible, dynamic, and easy to use. But it has been an option only for backend and database development for a few years, allowing developers to create applications using end-to-end JavaScript. MEAN removes the need to hire different specialists to develop each part of an application. Instead, you can use a single pool of JavaScript developers to work adaptively, where and when needed. Standardizing on JavaScript also provides an opportunity to reuse code across the entire application, reducing unnecessary reinvention.
