What does MEAN mean?

MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node (MEAN) refers to a stack of technologies commonly used in web development.

MongoDB: A document database that stores data in flexible JSON-like documents for storing different kinds of data.
Express.js: A lightweight web framework built on top of Node.js.
It simplifies server-side development by providing functionalities for handling HTTP requests, defining routing paths, and sending responses on the backend.
Angular.js: A front-end JavaScript framework for building dynamic and interactive web User Interfaces (UI).
Node.js: An open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code outside of the browser. This enables building server-side applications with Javascript.

Note:
MEAN stack utilizes JavaScript as the primary programming language for both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of web applications. Using JavaScript across the entire stack simplifies development by allowing developers to use the same language, libraries, and tools throughout the entire application.
