Should I learn Jelly script or Angular JS?

[ramandeepgarg6]

Hi Friends,

I was planning to learn Jelly as UI pages are created with Jelly Scripts. But Jelly is not supported by ServiceNow now. So should i learn Angular JS instead of Jelly OR shall i learn only Jelly OR shall i learn both?? I am a bit confused. Please advise.

Regards

Learning Jelly would be a bad idea since the platform has moved and is moving towards newer frameworks. Unless, you have to maintain legacy stuffs, I won't advise to read Jelly now.

Adding to Kalai's answer, Jelly would be soon deprecated in future versions (quoting second hand). Apart from ServiceNow, the knowledge of Jelly won't be helpful as it is used rarely nowadays in external applications.

Learning Angular JS would give you a greater ROI in all aspects. Angular is fast, provides a better UI and it has got a really good market.

Would you happen to know if there was an official ServiceNow documentation supporting this?

Hi Ramandeep,

As Kalaiarasan suggested, the platform has moved. Jelly scripting wont be a best practice now, But to start AngularjJS in service now you should have a better knowledge in jelly scripting as well ,like about tags and everything.you might need them else HTML and AngularJS combination is amazing for creating dynamic UI pages.

Please provide your feedback appropriately (Like, Helpful, Endorse AND/OR Correct) to help community.

Thank you!
