What does MEAN stand for? I will be discussing the stack in this blog in detail and from different aspects. In the end you will have a basic understanding of how MEAN i truly am. 😜

MEAN comprises a set of four technologies and this is what it stands for.

The M stands for MongoDB.

MongoDB is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era.

The E stands for Express and Express is hard to understand without the N. So let’s quickly fast-forward towards the N.

Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js

We’ve also got the A and the A stands for Angular.

Now I’ll come back to the N which is related to the E but Angular is our client-side technology, it is a JavaScript framework that facilitates to render a nice dynamic UI, to our users. It runs entirely in the browser, not on the server at all and therefore it really has just one job, presenting a nice and pleasant, interactive and reactive user interface.

Angular is a platform for building mobile and desktop web applications.
