What is MEAN?

MEAN is a free and open-source set of technologies for creating dynamic websites and web applications with JavaScript.

The term MEAN is an acronym that represents the configuration of a MongoDB database serving an Express.js web application framework, using AngularJS on the client side with Node.js for application runtime.
