Does Chilkat Support Angular?
The answer is No and Yes.
Angular is a client-side JavaScript framework, which means that it primarily runs on the client side (in the user’s browser) rather than on the web server. When a user accesses a web page built with Angular, the Angular application is downloaded to the user’s browser, and the majority of the processing occurs on the client side.
- Chilkat cannot run on the client-side (within the browser) because the library contains native code.
However, Angular applications are typically composed of HTML templates, CSS stylesheets, and TypeScript/JavaScript code. Angular applications rely on the Angular framework to manage the application’s components, handle data binding, and facilitate communication with a server or API.
While Angular applications are executed on the client side, it’s common to have a back-end server that provides data or services to the Angular application. This server could be implemented using technologies like Node.js, Java, Python, .NET, etc. The client-side Angular application communicates with the server using HTTP requests (e.g., RESTful APIs) to fetch or send data.
- Chilkat can be used on the server-side in many different programming environments, including Node.js, Java, Python, .NET, PHP, etc.
