The MEAN stack is a collection of technologies used in web development, consisting of MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js. It's widely used because it's a full JavaScript stack, meaning developers can use the same programming language, JavaScript, across all parts of the application.
The MERN stack is an upgraded version of the MEAN stack, replacing Angular.js with React.js. Like MEAN, it is a JavaScript-based stack designed for fast and efficient development of software components.
This stack uses Vue.js as the front-end development framework, which is highly favored by developers due to its speed and efficiency compared to Angular.js and React.js. Vue.js provides essential features out of the box, with the option to enhance its functionality through third-party services.
LAMP is a traditional and one of the earliest technology stacks, consisting of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. As a pioneer in open-source software, it has been a leader in the industry from the beginning and continues to be popular among developers for its reliability and flexibility.
The MENG stack is a web development stack that uses MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js, and Vue.js. It allows developers to use JavaScript for both the front-end and back-end, making development faster and more efficient. Vue.js is used for the front-end and is known for being simple and easy to use.
