Ember JS: An Overview

Ember.js was originally released as SproutCore in 2007 by a developer Yehuda Katz, but it was renamed to Ember in 2011. It’s marketed as a JavaScript framework for creating ambitious web applications by dramatically lessening codes and increasing productivity, and it packs a couple of useful features out of the box.

Among its primary features is its utilization of entities called routers, which reflect all changes within the page onto the web URL so these changes may be shared and accessed by other users. It also enables the creation of dynamic HTML pages by using Handlebars to create web templates. In addition, it stores data in objects called models, and the values in these models may be accessed in HTML templates using expressions. Moreover, Ember.js uses two-way data binding which allows page components and their corresponding models to be constantly synchronized, so that changes in one will automatically cause a corresponding change in the other.

Ember.js supports the convention over configuration paradigm, wherein a lot of default behavior is assumed in the framework based on commonly accepted best programming practices. This reduces the number of decisions a programmer has to make, thereby allowing him to create more functionalities in less time.

Ember.js has gained a lot of traction in the development community since its release. It currently ranks sixth in the top frontend JavaScript frameworks by number of Github stars, with 18,128 stars as of writing. The results of the 2018 Ember Developer Survey show that 33.6% of all developers skilled in Ember are from Europe, the second highest among all continents after North America with 49%. So looking for software developer Eastern Europe is the best option. Several prominent companies use Ember.js on their websites, including Amazon, Apple, Target, Bustle, and SquareUp.
