Hi Everyone,

My Name is Yateesh Bhardwaj, I am the founder of Benchwork Technologies, a Web Development and Mobile Apps Development Enterprise in Noida, India.
I have been developing and handling websites and complex backends for our clients in MEAN and MERN stack. Before I will explain to you how it is revolutionizing the backend, we will start understanding the meaning of MEAN and MERN.

What is MEAN stands for?

MEAN is an abbreviation where each alphabet stands for MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Nodejs respectively.
MongoDB- MongoDB is a NoSQL database. It uses JSON-like documents with Schema.
Express- Express is a Nodejs web-application framework.
Angular- Angular is an open-source Javascript based front-end framework developed and maintained by Google.
Node.js- Nodejs is a open-source Javascript runtime environment that executes Javascript out of browser.

This whole bundle runs and executes Javascript and helps in making intensive web applications that are fast and helps in reducing the code of the application.

Benefits of MEAN stack

Applications of MEAN are
1. Scalable
2.Flexible
3. Saves time and efficiency of developers as only one language is required for this stack i.e Javascript.

Features and Reasons for its Popularity

3. Adaptability
Since the stack is using only one language i.e, Javascript which is used in wide range of web applications.
