The World Wide Web (WWW) is currently
evolving with tremendous speed due to the advancement of
new technologies. Starting from a means of exchanging
information in the form of static HTML pages, WWW has
now come to a stage where complex computational tasks are
being carried out by the websites or web applications. This
journey of WWW comprised of important technological
involvements of different web technologies at different stages.
One of such important web technologies is JavaScript.
JavaScript enabled interactive and computational features in
websites and web applications. Since its beginning JavaScript
has changed drastically with the introductions of different JS
libraries. jQuery was one of these libraries that significantly
improved the performance of a webpage. However, recent
introduction of AngularJS claims many benefits over
traditional JS libraries. This paper considers AngularJS as a
case study and evaluates its performance with respect to
certain criterions and compares it with traditional
frameworks like jQuery

SPA; DOM; CSS; JSON; User Experience
Thus it can be concluded that the AngularJS is more
efficient than the existing client-side web technologies like
JavaScript and jQuery. However, the area in which
AngularJS gives the best performance is SPA ( Single
Page Applications) and not simple Websites.
