Angular vs React: source lines of code compared
As of 2026-07-27, angular/angular contains 956,950 total lines (641,688 code) across 6,641 files, while facebook/react contains 469,005 total lines (371,767 code) across 2,188 files as of 2026-07-27. angular/angular is about 1.7x the size of facebook/react 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 (53.4% of code), YAML (19.0% of code), JSON (15.6% of code). Top languages in facebook/react: JavaScript (64.3% of code), Rust (17.1% of code), TypeScript (16.1% 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 5ad823139758) on 2026-07-27; facebook/react was counted at ref main (commit dcd4ec28a132) on 2026-07-27. 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.
