Even a few years ago, web application development was not what it is today. Nowadays, there are so many options that the uninitiated are frequently perplexed as to what is best for them. This applies not only to the overall stack but also to the development tools; there are so many options. This blog tutorial asserts that the MERN stack is ideal for developing a full web application, and it walks the reader through the entire process in a very detailed manner. 

So, what exactly is the MERN stack ?

The MERN stack is a popular set of technologies for creating a modern Single Page Application (SPA). MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js: 

  • Node.js is a popular server-side framework that allows us to run JavaScript code on a web server. 
  • Express is a Node.js web application framework that makes Node application development simpler and faster.
  • MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data persistently in the form of collections and documents.
  • React is a JavaScript frontend library for creating user interfaces. 

In this blog tutorial, we will create a full-stack blog application that performs CRUD operations by utilizing the MERN stack. This blog tutorial should help you understand the fundamental operations of the MERN stack. 

Here is our application's final sneak peek.
