While Angular can be used to build components, it also comes with other tools that can be used to build a complete web application. Thanks to Angular, developers can build single page applications. Unlike Angular, React is a JavaScript library, not a framework. React is used to build reusable UI elements. Vue is a framework similar to Angular. However, it doesn’t come with all of its functionalities making it lightweight. Vue can be used to build complete component driven applications.
