Highlights
Overall, MERN is one of the most popular tech stacks in use today and is highly demanded within the IT industry.
MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. It is a popular JavaScript-based tech stack used to build full-stack web applications, which include both a front-end (user interface) and a back-end (server logic and data).
React, along with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, is used to build the front-end of MERN applications. ReactJS is a JavaScript library specifically designed for building user interfaces.
Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB are used to build the back-end. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment for server-side scripting. MongoDB is a NoSQL database for data storage and management. Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js, used to build server-side applications and APIs.
