The MEAN stack uses Mongo, Express, Angular(6) and Node for simple and scalable fullstack js applications. The mean stack is intended to provide a simple and fun starting point for cloud native fullstack javascript applications. MEAN is a set of Open Source components that together, provide an end-to-end framework for building dynamic web applications; starting from the top (code running in the browser) to the bottom (database). The stack is made up of MongoDB, with document database, used by your back-end application to store its data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) documents. Also with Express (sometimes referred to as Express.js), with back-end web application framework running on top of Node.js. As well as Angular (formerly Angular.js), which is a front-end web app framework that runs your JavaScript code in the user's browser, allowing your application UI to be dynamic.
Features
- Open Source components that together, provide an end-to-end framework for building dynamic web applications
- The stack is made up of MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js
- MEAN applications can be written in one language for both server-side and client-side execution environments
- The components of the MEAN stack are higher-level including a web application presentation layer and not including an operating system layer
- Node.js is the application runtime that the MEAN stack runs on
- The use of Node.js is integral to the MEAN stack which relies on that concept
