HTML5 mobile apps have been slow to catch on — because they are slow. \u00a0There’s a huge overhead from having to live by browser and HTML rules. \u00a0Manipulating the DOM in the browser adds an unacceptable performance hit to any kind of HTML5 app that goes beyond the rendering of mostly static pages. \u00a0Famo.us is a new Javascript framework that uses a rendering technology called WebGL, a technology that’s built into most modern browsers<\/a>. \u00a0But WebGL is new and in many browsers it’s often even turned off by default. \u00a0Famo.us takes full advantage of WebGL, and that enables it to perform the real-time rendering of detailed graphics.<\/p>\n

AngularJS was created and is maintained by Google. \u00a0It is an open-source application framework that makes building single-page applications easy. \u00a0It uses only HTML, CSS and Javascript and runs strictly on the client side.<\/p>\n

Famo.us was officially released in May 2014. \u00a0Shortly after the release of Famo.us, an integration between Famo.us and AngularJS<\/a> was announced by Thomas Street<\/a>. \u00a0Together, AngularJS offers the benefits of data binding, MVS, templates and directives, while Famo.us provides a framework that supports high-performance rendering.<\/p>\n

Kevin Benedict<\/a>, senior analyst at Cognizant Technology,\u00a0wrote that<\/a>\u00a0“Famo.us originally didn’t want to support Angular but now it has the largest activity because they listened to the community and are working on delivering what they wanted. Angular offers governance through its very DNA.”<\/p>\n

Zach Brown<\/a>, Partner of Thomas Street, said that<\/a> “what we’re very excited about is the declarative way that Famo.us-AngularJS lets you declare new views, as well as the data binding, the templating, and\u00a0the structure that you can leverage from Angular that allows you to create your app more easily.”<\/p>\n
