Angular is a complete, opinionated framework for building web applications, maintained by Google. Unlike React (a UI library) or Vue (a progressive framework), Angular ships a full toolkit out of the box and is built around TypeScript.
What "full framework" means
React: UI rendering — you add a router, state lib, HTTP client, forms yourself
Angular: includes ALL of it — router, HttpClient, forms, DI, RxJS, CLI, testing
Angular gives you official, integrated solutions for routing, HTTP, forms, dependency injection, and more — so there are fewer third-party choices to make, at the cost of a steeper learning curve.
