## Overview
An Angular application consist largely of components and their HTML templates.
Before the browser can render the application,

the components and templates must be converted to executable JavaScript by the _Angular compiler_.

## _Ahead-of-time_ (AOT) vs _Just-in-time_ (JIT)
There is actually only one Angular compiler. The difference between AOT and JIT is a matter of timing and tooling.
With AOT, the compiler runs once at build time using one set of libraries;
With JIT it runs every time for every user at runtime using a different set of libraries.
