AngularJS, commonly referred to as Angular, is an open-source web application framework, maintained by Google and the community, that assists with creating single-page applications, which consist of one HTML page with CSS and JavaScript on the client side. Its goal is to simplify both development and testing of web applications by providing client-sidemodel–view–controller (MVC) capability as well as providing structure for the entire development process, from design through testing.

The library works by first reading the HTML page, which has embedded into it additional custom tag attributes. Those attributes are interpreted as directives telling Angular to bind input or output parts of the page to a model that is represented by standard JavaScript variables. The values of those JavaScript variables can be manually set within the code, or retrieved from static or dynamic JSON resources.
