Why we use Angular?

• It promotes modular approach. so the application you build will have clear structure.
• we can have lots of reusable codes there.
• It makes development quicker and easier.(the use of capabilities of angular such as validation,routing..etc)
• It is possible to write unit testable
• we can easily maintain our codes
