Why Choose MEAN Stack For Developing Your Mobile / Web Application?

Why Choose MEAN Stack

Mean stack is a collection of open source JavaScript based technologies used to develop web applications optimized for cloud deployment. The term was first coined by MongoDB developer Valeri Karpov where he suggests the advantages of using a single language throughout the development process. The term is actually an acronym formed from the NoSQL database MongoDB, and frameworks Express, AngularJS, and Node.js.

Reasons to choose MEAN stack for mobile/web application development

Despite having a lot of choices for web development, the developers prefer using the upgraded technologies to remain ahead of the competition and to optimize their applications to the best of the standards. Nowadays, both front-end and back-end developers are choosing MEAN stack when they have to work with JavaScript languages as it has excelled LAMP/WAMP stack for a number of reasons.

The collective, as well as the individual advantages that each component of the stack offers, are the reasons behind MEAN stack’s high demand among the developers.

Easy to store and transfer data – The MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is preferred by developers to store massive amounts of data. As the data is saved in the JSON format, it eliminates the need to update the entire table. This makes the transfer of data between client and server much easier and cost-effective. Either with MongoDB or AngularJS, a developer can avoid writing the codes again. Needless to say, the seamless data distribution process spares a lot of time and energy.

Builds fast and secure apps – A backend framework, Express which is inspired by Ruby framework is lightweight yet robust. It provides help to APIs and makes the development process seamless when combined with Node.js. Using Express, a developer can write much faster and secure single or multi-page applications.

Free and highly scalable – Using the front-end JavaScript component of the MEAN stack AngularJS, a developer can build applications that are dynamic and scalable. But more importantly all the four components of the MEAN stack are free, open source and highly scalable. It contains additional libraries and reusable modules that save a lot of time by accelerating the development process.

Reduces developmental difficulty – With Node.js framework a developer can build free modules, networking tools that aids in the access of data streams, networks, and more that reduce developmental difficulties.

Budget-friendly nature – With MEAN stack a client doesn’t have to look for different developers as it’s a full stack framework. This makes it a budget-friendly option for both the clients and the developers. It gives the JavaScript developers the opportunity to work as a team by easily sharing codes within the stack that are reusable.

Effective and flexible – Using this JavaScript framework a developer can effectively handle projects of all sizes and complexity. It is compatible on both Linux and Windows operating systems and helps in effective data management and recovery. Dynamic web applications made possible with the use of Node.js and AngularJS optimizes user experience and increases traffic.

MEAN is getting bigger by the day, more powerful and popular. Node.js has already roped in giants like Uber, Netflix, LinkedIn, Paypal and more. So, for any dynamic single page or multi page web or mobile application development it is considered the best full stack framework.
