Make an informed decision before building a business web app
Choosing the right framework for your future business web app can prove difficult. After all, most of them have a lot to offer and each promises the best approach.
This whitepaper gives business leaders the information they need to choose between three of the most popular options for building modern web applications: Vaadin, Angular and React.
Fully updated for 2026, it reflects the current state of all three technologies — Vaadin 25, Angular 22 and React 19 — including Vaadin’s Java-first, full-stack approach, React’s move to the React Foundation (Linux Foundation), the deprecation of Create React App, and modern Angular’s signals-based release model.
The goal isn’t to crown a single winner, but to give you — the executive or managerial stakeholder — everything needed to make an informed decision for your particular use case, team and organization.
