## TL;DR

Angular is a TypeScript-based framework for building component-driven web applications. Current Angular documentation emphasizes components, standalone APIs, signals, and server-rendering hydration features.

## Core Explanation

Components define a TypeScript class and associated template. Standalone components do not need to be declared in an NgModule. Signals provide reactive primitives such as `signal()`, `computed()`, and `effect()`. Angular v19 documentation describes incremental hydration as an advanced hydration mode for server-rendered Angular applications.
