What is the difference between using Angular’s viewChildren and jQuery?

Angular provides the ability to use viewChildren to access and interact with an HTML element. This differs from jQuery in several ways.

Angular viewChildren
  • Uses the browser’s native DOM APIs
  • Is part of an Angular component
  • Scopes the element to the component
jQuery
  • Uses jQuery’s APIs
  • Is not part of an Angular component
  • Is not scoped to the component

Angular viewChildren uses the browser’s native DOM APIs, is part of an Angular component, and scopes the element to the component. jQuery, on the other hand, uses jQuery’s APIs, is not part of an Angular component, and is not scoped to the component.
