There are many frontend and backend web development frameworks to choose from. Here we list the top 10 most robust frontend and backend web development frameworks for 2020:

Best Backend Frameworks:

1.     Express

Express is fast becoming one of the most trending frameworks thanks to its fast and minimal framework. It provides some core framework functionalities and enables you to build an application in an efficient and flexible way. Overall, its programming is much easier than any other platform, while it is incredibly easy to find and correct errors, thanks to the debugging mechanisms.

2.     Django

This Model-View-Template framework uses Python for web development. It offers authentication and messaging, follows the Convention Over Configuration pattern, and offers optimal security. It is such a popular framework that it is used by giants such as Instagram, Google, and YouTube.

3.     Laravel

This popular Model-View-Controller framework uses PHP, which is one of the web’s most popular languages. Featuring building authentication and authorisation systems, this state-of-the-art framework is easy to use. There is also a huge community, where users can choose from thousands of videos and tutorials.  While it’s great for beginners, it doesn’t possess the same in-depth functionalities as Django or Express.

Though the benefits are plentiful, the learning curve can be steep, especially for newcomers to Java.

Best Frontend Frameworks:
