The document compares React and Angular, two popular front-end development frameworks, highlighting their differences in architecture, performance, and learning curves. React, developed by Facebook, is a lightweight library known for its component-based approach and faster rendering through a virtual DOM, making it suitable for dynamic applications. In contrast, Angular, created by Google, is a full-fledged framework with more built-in features and a steeper learning curve, providing a structured environment for developers but requiring more time to master.
