Abstract

This thesis aimed to examine the Angular framework and React library in terms of performance on three popular web browsers. To achieve this, two similar test applications were implemented to create user interfaces, along with a server application for database communication and the aforementioned programming frameworks. Subsequently, tests were conducted to assess the time required for downloading and displaying images, records, and their deletion. In addition to performance results, a literature review was conducted to provide a better understanding of the current state of knowledge in the field, and individual features distinguishing the respective framework or library were described. Furthermore, the obtained data was analyzed for statistical differences using statistical tests.
