AngularJS vs Dojo: What are the differences?

1. Data Binding: One key difference between AngularJS and Dojo is the way they handle data binding. AngularJS uses two-way data binding, which means that changes made to the model automatically reflect in the view and vice versa. On the other hand, Dojo uses one-way data binding, where changes made in the model need to be manually updated in the view or vice versa.
2. Modules and Dependency Injection: Another difference is in the way modules and dependency injection are handled. AngularJS provides a built-in module system and supports dependency injection out of the box. It allows for easy structuring and organization of code. Dojo, on the other hand, does not have a built-in module system and dependency injection needs to be implemented manually or with an additional library.
3. Templating: AngularJS has a powerful templating system that allows developers to write HTML with additional markup and directives to create dynamic views. Dojo, on the other hand, uses a more traditional approach to templating with the use of JavaScript functions to generate markup. This can make the templating process more complex and less declarative compared to AngularJS.
4. Routing: AngularJS has a built-in routing system that allows developers to define routes and associate different templates and controllers with each route. This makes it easy to create single-page applications with multiple views. Dojo, on the other hand, does not have a built-in routing system and developers need to rely on additional libraries or implement their own routing solution.
5. Testing: AngularJS provides built-in support for unit testing with tools like Karma and Jasmine. It has a testing-friendly design that makes it easier to write tests for AngularJS applications. Dojo, on the other hand, does not provide as much built-in support for testing and developers may need to rely on external libraries or frameworks for testing Dojo applications.
6. Community and Documentation: AngularJS has a large and active community of developers, which means there are plenty of online resources, tutorials, and forums available for support. It also has extensive documentation, making it easier for developers to learn and use AngularJS. Dojo, while also having a community and documentation, may not have the same level of resources and support as AngularJS.

In Summary, AngularJS and Dojo have key differences in data binding, modules and dependency injection, templating, routing, testing support, and community/documentation.

The main reason we have chosen Vue.js over React and AngularJS is related to the following artifacts:

Empowered HTML. Vue.js has many similar approaches with Angular. This helps to optimize HTML blocks handling with the use of different components.
Detailed documentation. Vue.js has very good documentation which can fasten learning curve for developers.
Adaptability. It provides a rapid switching period from other frameworks. It has similarities with Angular and React in terms of design and architecture.
Awesome integration. Vue.js can be used for both building single-page applications and more difficult web interfaces of apps. Smaller interactive parts can be easily integrated into the existing infrastructure with no negative effect on the entire system.
Large scaling. Vue.js can help to develop pretty large reusable templates.
Tiny size. Vue.js weights around 20KB keeping its speed and flexibility. It allows reaching much better performance in comparison to other frameworks.

I used React not just because it is more popular than Angular. But the declarative and composition it gives out of the box is fascinating and React.js is just a very small UI library and you can build anything on top of it.

Composing components is the strongest asset of React for me as it can breakdown your application into smaller pieces which makes it easy to reuse and scale.

It is a very versatile library that provides great development speed. Although, with a bad organization, maintaining projects can be a disaster. With a good architecture, this does not happen.

Angular is obviously powerful and robust. I do not rule it out for any future application, in fact with the arrival of micro frontends and cross-functional teams I think it could be useful. However, if I have to build a stack from scratch again, I'm left with react.

AngularJS	Dojo
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.	It is a JavaScript toolkit that saves you time and scales with your development process. Provides everything you need to build a Web app. Language utilities, UI components, and more, all in one place, designed to work together perfectly.

What are some alternatives to AngularJS, Dojo?

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.

jQuery

jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.

React

Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

Vue.js

It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.

jQuery UI

Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.

Ember.js

A JavaScript framework that does all of the heavy lifting that you'd normally have to do by hand. There are tasks that are common to every web app; It does those things for you, so you can focus on building killer features and UI.

Foundation

Foundation is the most advanced responsive front-end framework in the world. You can quickly prototype and build sites or apps that work on any kind of device with Foundation, which includes layout constructs (like a fully responsive grid), elements and best practices.

Backbone.js

Backbone supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface.

Semantic UI

Semantic empowers designers and developers by creating a shared vocabulary for UI.

Materialize

A CSS Framework based on material design.
