What is the MERN Stack?

MERN(MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) is another popular full-stack development. It is usually considered as an alternative to MEAN stack development. Below is the architecture of MERN:

MongoDB - Database layer
Express - Middleware for Nodejs
React- front end (User Interface)
Node.js - web server logic

MERN stack Development

The main difference between MERN and MEAN stack is Angular and React. Both Angular and React does the job for your requirement. Its personal choice which one to use.

Before learning MERN stack development, you should have knowledge of HTML/CSS, Javascript, React JS, Node JS

I think we need to come up with a better name for the MEVN stack though, it just doesn't roll off the tongue like MERN or MEAN.
