This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of angular/angular and facebook/react using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-09-05, angular/angular contains 945,438 total lines (626,759 code) across 6,586 files, while facebook/react contains 913,098 total lines (696,459 code) across 6,919 files as of 2026-09-08. angular/angular and facebook/react are similar in size by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in angular/angular: TypeScript (55.1% of code), YAML (18.5% of code), JSON (14.2% of code). Top languages in facebook/react: JavaScript (77.2% of code), TypeScript (9.4% of code), Rust (9.4% of code). TypeScript, JSON appear in both top language lists; YAML, HTML, Bazel appear only in angular/angular's top languages; JavaScript, Rust, CSS appear only in facebook/react's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. angular/angular was counted at ref main (commit 9a58353b1b68) on 2026-09-05; facebook/react was counted at ref 9b7a0d4029ee31f84446383b6530075f423e9904 (commit 9b7a0d4029ee) on 2026-09-08. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
As of 2026-09-08, angular/angular and facebook/react are close in size: 626,759 vs 696,459 code lines, a difference of less than 15%. Neither clearly outsizes the other by this metric.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for angular/angular, facebook/react, or any repository.
