Top Angular Open Source Projects

In this article, we'll talk about open-source Angular projects. Many developers and companies have moved on from AngularJS, so it's not recommended to start development with this framework anymore.

Before we will check the list of open-source Angular projects, let's cover some of its features and the types of projects it's best suited for. We'll also compare Angular's open-source community to Vue and React.

* When to use Angular:
*
Complex web projects with business logic on the front-end and lots of async network calls
Dynamic content websites
Progressive web apps (Angular has built-in PWA support)

*Benefits of using Angular:
*
Component-based architecture for reusable components
TypeScript for better tooling and scalability
Platform-agnostic philosophy
Angular Universal for server-side rendering
Google Long-Term Support

React vs. Angular open-source community:
There are fewer high-quality Angular projects compared to React and Vue. This may be due to Angular being harder to develop, harder to learn, and used more in enterprise projects with less open-source tools.
