• Routing
• Sessions
• HTTP requests
• Error handling

At times writing code from scratch for above things can be time consuming. But by using express it’s only a matter of few methods. Express also helps in organizing your code. EXPRESS.JS is a light-weight Web framework for Node.js which means we can build web applications using JavaScript. Since it is light, one can do many things faster and with less lines of code, than a traditional Web application built using multiple technologies.

• Express supports MVC Architecture with little bit of work.
• One can build RESTful APIs faster.
• We can use many templating languages like Jade or EJS which reduce the amount of HTML code we have to write for a page.
• Has support for NoSQL databases out of the box.
• It provides convenient, basic web-server creation/routing tools, which so essential to bare-bones node,js
• It uses very flexible, modular middleware pattern, where special middleware modules used to process different requests.
• It is very friendly to functional programming and usage of Node.js core concepts – Event-emitters, Async flow and Streams.
• It requires almost nothing to create and run the easy testable web server

Earlier with Grunt and Gulp one had to do a lot of manual work to achieve the same output. So, Webpack  solves the hard part. Webpack’s approach is more involved and it comes with a learning curve as it relies on configuration and looks very different than other tools.  Webpack boasts a bunch of features:

• Ability to inject CSS files from your JS – useful if one is creating web components and want the CSS to be bundled with the JS.
• Flexible module patterns – you can use CommonJS style, ES6, or AMD.
• Ability to recompile only the module that we change, so a faster development cycle.
• If we use ReactJS, hot reloading modules using react-hot-loader. This feature speeds up the development quite a bit.
• It has its own command line utility, so we don’t need to use gulp or Grunt, though we can if we want.

GULP  is a task/build runner for development. It allows one to do a lot of stuff within the development workflow.One can compile sass files, compress js files and much more. One task flow into another. These help in saving the time, making your development workflow more organized. There are many tools available in the market which do the same work such as Grunt, Broccoli etc. Gulp could be compared to GRUNT in its usage. Gulp is preferred a bit because of its faster performance using the stream line. Gulp uses plugins to automate the task and these plugins can be installed and managed by using Node Package Manager. Gulp is presented as a toolkit for helping JavaScript/Node developers create a build pipeline. Gulp does essentially the same thing as Grunt but with a more modern interface.  The way gulp approaches things  builds tend to turn out faster as it  minify CSS, JS and keep a ready-for production environment project

Gulp is a successor of Grunt we can say and easier to use.  There are lot of tasks which were taking lot of time of UI developers which were no productive such as – sass to css conversation, making HTML templates, Minify of CSS and JS, Images optimization, setting localhost, refreshing page.

So, gulpjs/gruntjs help in making these tasks automated, it is a one time task to installed these and set the commands and than you are all set to go.
Gulp is a build system for automating tasks. The following is few listing which can be achieved with the help of gulpjs

– Minification

– Watch files

– Compile Sass, LESS files for you

– Combining multiple js/css files into single file respectively

– Converting SVG icons to fonts

– Live browser reload

Copy all files of bower to a specific project directory (css, js, images)

Gulp is generally more concise and readable.  Gulp is faster in general. Although Gulp has fewer plugins and thinner documentation key plugins for minification, concatenation, linting, LESS transpilation, and so forth. Grunt is declarative, one can specify configuration for plugins that perform a certain action. Gulp is imperative, and major Difference Between Gulp and Grunt Lies in How They Deal With Automation of Tasks Internally . Gulp Uses Node Streams For running different tasks and Grunt use temp files for the same work . Grunt runs tasks using Temporary files which are disk I/O operations. Gulp and Grunt both are Task Runners. Meaning, these are used to run tasks that you have programmed.

• open source
• good quality, well maintained
• seems to work well on a good variety of phones and OSes
• graphically very nice
• extra services, like for push notifications, graphical editing of apps
• you can include “angularised” versions of Cordova plugins with ngcordova
•  less time to build app
• 1 code base for all platforms
• Design, Ionic takes care of design and follows platform guidelines, meaning that apps have different look & feel depending on the platform they are running
• Most apps are going to be actually easier to build with Ionic

Basically Vue.js  let one code in an highly reusable way,  create components that one can use as “html-like tags” in your page, binding data, functions and other very useful properties to every component. It has quickly overtaken React.js and jQuery in terms of popularity  and it doesn’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Vue.js  is truly descriptive , declarative rendering, as oppose to other frameworks/libraries. Vue.js provides a lot of fantastic features to work with DOM. Vue.js does not require webpack. Vue.js also reduces a ton of line of codes.  Vue.js is really approachable and provides a little more structure on how to approach various things.  Vue.js is also suitable for light-weight projects. It provides very different functionality though, namely structure and modularization. In fact, one can use JQuery and Vue.js together. Vue.js was 3rd most starred project in 2016 on GitHub. Vue is simpler,  Vue.js is much easier to integrate into many frameworks like Laravel, Rails or even Django. Parsing, ajax, and data binding  can be done with Vue.js. Vue is focusing on building some of the best actions in web UI development like components, declarative UI, hot-reloading, time-travel debugging and etc.  Vue.js has a much less complicated learning curve in comparison with Angular 2.

One common distinction between a scripting language and a language used for writing entire applications is that, while a programming language is typically compiled first before being allowed to run, scripting languages are interpreted from source code or bytecode one command at a time. Scripting languages are not compiled to machine code by user like other programming languages. They are high level code which are interpreted by another program dynamically or at runtime. Scripts are set of instructions either to the web browser (client side)which are embedded in HTML, or to the server side that interface to databases or other data stores on the server. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language. Scripting languages are also sometimes referred to as very high-level programming languages, as they operate at a high level of abstraction, or as control languages, particularly for job control languages on mainframes. Scripting languages are programming languages that don’t require an explicit compilation step.

1. Responsive Design− Bootstrap’s responsive CSS adjusts to Desktops,Tablets and Mobiles.
2. Mobile first approach− Since Bootstrap 3 and 4, the framework consists of Mobile first styles throughout the entire library instead of in separate files.
3. Easy to get started− With just the knowledge of HTML and CSS anyone can get started with Bootstrap. Also the Bootstrap official site has a good documentation.
4. Browser Support− It is supported by all popular browsers.
5. It contains beautiful and functional built-in componentswhich are easy to customize.
6. Provides a clean and uniform solutionfor building an interface for developers.
7. Provides web based customization.
8. Best of all it is an open source.
9. Base styling for most HTML elements(Typography,Code,Tables,Forms,Buttons,Images,Icons)
10. Bundled Javascript plugins
