Frequently asked questions
MERN Stack is an open-source JavaScript stack used for ease in the development and deployment of applications. 'MERN' stands for the four technologies that make up the stack: MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js. MongoDB is a cross-platform document-oriented database used for JSON-like storage, including ad-hoc queries, indexing, replication, and load balancing. Express is a Node.js back-end web application framework utilized for building web applications and APIs. React is a front-end library used for making user interfaces. And lastly, Node.js is a back-end JavaScript runtime environment, which allows programmers to run code outside of a web browser. MERN stack is not to be confused with MEAN web dev stack, which uses Angular.js instead of React.js as the JavaScript library.
