The Angular ecosystem consists of a diverse group of over 1.7 million developers, library authors, and content creators.

Unlike AngularJS, Angular does not have a concept of "scope" or controllers; instead, it uses a hierarchy of components as its primary architectural characteristic.

Angular uses a component-based architecture, which allows developers to build encapsulated, reusable user interface elements.

Each component encapsulates its own HTML, CSS, and TypeScript, making it easier to manage and test individual pieces of an application.

Server-side rendering also enhances search engine optimization by making content more accessible to web crawlers.

Angular Material includes a variety of UI components such as buttons, cards, dialogs, grids, and form controls.

Additional features of Angular Material include support for responsive design, theming, and accessibility.
