I have made a simple site which I now want to add a javascript overlay to do some relatively simple things such as:
- Make the search box and pagination ajax driven to results can be loaded in without a refresh
- Integrate the HTML5 history system
- Add form validation
My coder has told me that I should use angular over jquery. When I look into it, it seems Angular is designed for large, completely AJAX driven sites, and ends up using jquery or jquery lite anyway.
My question is, does angular offer any significant advantages for my use case, to counteract the disadvantage of the learning curve and lack of community.
