AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template
language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and
succinctly. Out of the box, it eliminates much of the code you currently write through data
binding and dependency injection. And it all happens in JavaScript within the browser making it an
ideal partner with any server technology.

an ideal partner with any server technology.
Angular is what HTML would have been had it been designed for applications. HTML is a great
declarative language for static documents. It does not contain much in the way of creating
applications, and as a result building web applications is an exercise in *what do I have to do, so
that I trick the browser in to doing what I want.*

The impedance mismatch between dynamic applications and static documents is often solved as:

app specific. E.g., `knockout`, `ember`, etc.
Angular takes another approach. It attempts to minimize the impedance mismatch between document
centric HTML and what an application needs by creating new HTML constructs. Angular teaches the
browser new syntax through a construct we call directives. Examples include:
* Data binding as in `{{}}`.
* Data binding, as in `{{}}`.
* DOM control structures for repeating/hiding DOM fragments.
* Support for forms and form validation.
* Attaching code-behind to DOM elements.

## End-to-end solution
## A complete client-side solution
Angular tries to be an end-to-end solution, when building a web application. This means it is
not a single piece in an overall puzzle of building a web application, but an end-to-end solution.
This makes Angular opinionated about how a CRUD application should be built. But while it is
opinionated, it also tries to make sure that its opinion is just a starting point, which you can
easily change. Angular comes with the following out-of-the-box:
Angular is not a single piece in the overall puzzle of building the client-side of a web
application. It handles all of the DOM and AJAX glue code you once wrote by hand and puts it in a
well-defined structure. This makes Angular opinionated about how a CRUD application should be
built. But while it is opinionated, it also tries to make sure that its opinion is just a
starting point you can easily change. Angular comes with the following out-of-the-box:
* Everything you need to build a CRUD app in a cohesive set: data-binding, basic templating
directives, form validation, routing, deep-linking, reusable components, dependency injection.
