KomMonitor is an open-source web client developed by the Bochum University of Applied
Sciences as a research project. It has been developed in Angular JS and it provides users
with a range of features, including the ability to search for and view data, customize maps,
and perform spatial analyses, statistical visualization, etc. The web client uses Angular JS as
its main framework. The current KomMonitor client is developed in AngularJS, there are
some potential disadvantages to consider, include compatibility issues, limited
community support, reduced performance, and limited scalability. As a result the solution
to overcome the problem is to consider using a more modern and widely-supported
framework in the development of the KomMonitor Web Client, such as the latest version of
Angular supports Typescript, a superset of JavaScript that provides strong typing and
data binding, Services & other features that help developers write more maintainable and
error-free code, improves performance, scalability, etc.
