5. Data binding

React uses one-way data binding, which means that the UI elements can’t be changed without updating the corresponding model state.

Angular uses the two-way data binding method. It helps you to ensure that the model state automatically changes when any change is made.

React is one of the most popular JS frameworks worldwide, and the community supporting and developing it is huge.

Angular: Google provides long-term support of the framework and constantly improves it. However, the updates are so fast that the documentation often falls behind.
