Mean stack is a full stack java script framework that was designed to help developers create web applications with ease. This architecture has been created from the four main architectures such as:
M- Mongodb. Mongodb is an open source database which stores desired database.
E- Express.js. Express and node work together to make the server side of the application
A- Angular. Is the front end of the web applications that the user interacts with through the web browser.
N- Node.js. Node and Express work together to create the server side of the application.
The diagram below demonstrates how the architectures work together to form the web application as a whole.
Even though as a developer the term Mean stack gets passed around a lot there are other versions of the architecture that produce a similar outcome. These alternative acronym:
MERN- For this to work we switch out the Augular for the other popular framework React.js
MEVN- Another alternative is to have Vue.js as the client side framwork.
Regardless of which acronym you decide to use they all accomplish the same outcome.
As you can see it is important to have a good understanding of how Mongodb,Express.js and Node.js work as they all are essential parts of the full stack development process.
