Stencil vs Angular Elements

Developers should use Stencil when they need to create framework-agnostic web components for design systems, component libraries, or micro-frontend architectures meets developers should learn angular elements when they need to create reusable ui components that must work across different frameworks or in legacy applications, such as when migrating a large codebase incrementally or building a design system for a multi-framework organization. Here's our take.

Stencil

Nice Pick

Developers should use Stencil when they need to create framework-agnostic web components for design systems, component libraries, or micro-frontend architectures

Pros

  • +It's ideal for teams building reusable UI elements that must work in multiple frameworks (e
  • +Related to: web-components, typescript

Angular Elements

Developers should learn Angular Elements when they need to create reusable UI components that must work across different frameworks or in legacy applications, such as when migrating a large codebase incrementally or building a design system for a multi-framework organization

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for embedding Angular components in CMS platforms, micro-frontend architectures, or third-party integrations where framework lock-in is a concern
  • +Related to: angular, web-components

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. Stencil is a tool while Angular Elements is a framework. We picked Stencil based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

🧊
The Bottom Line
Stencil wins

Based on overall popularity. Stencil is more widely used, but Angular Elements excels in its own space.
