This is where a framework like AngularJS Development fits in – by enhancing the capability of HTML by several notches. And the end result is extremely functional as well as fit for a speedy upgrade. While we do have options like CSS and/or Javascript, but these too have their own limitations and one can be hardly anywhere close to the desired output using the same.
