MEAN and MERN Stacks​

MEAN Stack​

It is a compilation of four different technologies that work together to develop dynamic web apps and websites. It is a contraction for four different technologies as mentioned below: M - MongoDB. E - ExpressJS. R - ReactJS. N - Node.JS

  • MongoDB — document database
  • Express(.js) — Node.js web framework
  • Angular(.js) — a client-side JavaScript framework
  • Node(.js) — the premier JavaScript web server

MERN​

It is one of several variations of the MEAN stack (MongoDB Express Angular Node), where the traditional Angular.js front-end framework is replaced with React.js. Other variants include MEVN (MongoDB, Express, Vue, Node), and really any front-end JavaScript framework can work.

  • MongoDB — document database
  • Express(.js) — Node.js web framework
  • React(.js) — a client-side JavaScript framework
  • Node(.js) — the premier JavaScript web server
