The MERN stack is a popular technology stack for building modern web applications. It consists of four key technologies, all JavaScript-based, making it highly suitable for full-stack development:

  1. MongoDB — NoSQL database for storing application data in a flexible, JSON-like format.
  2. Express.js — Lightweight Node.js web framework for building server-side applications and APIs.
  3. React.js — Front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
  4. Node.js — JavaScript runtime environment for executing server-side code.

Why Choose the MERN Stack?

  • JavaScript Everywhere: Unified language for front-end and back-end development.
  • Scalability: Suitable for small to enterprise-grade applications.
  • Flexibility: Build SPAs, mobile apps, or full-scale web applications.
  • Rich Ecosystem: Leverage npm packages and a large developer community.
