11,215 PointsIs Express similar to Angular.js or React.js? Or are these a different kind of framework than Express?

7,280 PointsYes, they are different. Express is a backend framework used with node.js whereas Angular is a front-end framework and React is a JavaScript library. React is also considered a front-end technology. If you want to be a full-stack JavaScript developer, Node, Express, Angular, and React are all worth learning.

7,280 PointsCorrect, React and Angular are different, and you do not need to know one in order to learn the other. You can learn them independently of each other.
React often gets called a framework, but it is technically a JavaScript library like jQuery. Angular is a framework.

11,215 PointsThanks! So(and i know this is moving away from the question) that means angular and react are different too? I thought they were both frameworks. Does one need to understand Angular to use React?
