The Difference Between AngularJS, Angular 2, Angular 4

Let’s talk about versions first, we mainly have two Angular versions i.e Angular.JS and Angular. Angular is a rewritten version of AngularJS. Google introduces different versions of both AngularJS and Angular. Here is all about versions:

Versions 

1. Angular.JS
   1. Angular 1 is referred as Angular.JS or AngularJS. It is an old version and still get updates.
   2. Angular 1.6 is the latest version of AngularJS. Many features were added to AngularJS 1.6 from the newer version ofAngular but still, it has a lot of vulnerabilities and is low in performance as compared to Angular(the newer version). I have discussed some major differences of AngularJS and Angular  
2. Angular
   1. Angular 2 released in May 2016 was a complete incompatible rewrite of AngularJS and is referred as Angular. It was the first version of Angular and they regularly now release new versions.
   2. Angular 3 does not exist and this version name was skipped due to versioning conflicts.
   3. Angular 4 released on 1st March 2017 introduced much new stuff including Ahead of Time(AoT) compilation and Universal project which allows server-side rendering. 
   4. Angular 5 is currently the latest version (released on 8th November 2017) and it does not introduce any breaking changes compared to angular 4. It is just an improved and updated version of Angular 4.
   5. Angular 6 will release in March 2018.
   6. Angular 7 will release in September 2018.
