one of the most common term associated with angular is SPA.

1. Why angular is called an single page application?

2. Even if the url changes in angular site will it be called as spa?

3. Is all the site created under angular is really a single page application? If not why?

I hope answers to these question gets much clarity on angular.

1. In a Single Page Application, all of your application's functions exist in a single HTML page.As users access your application's features, the browser needs to render only the parts that matter to the user, instead of loading a new page. This pattern can significantly improve your application's user experience. Angular is not only for Single page Application, you can also use Angular to build a variety of apps.
2. Yes. All the sites created with Angular are SPAs. AngularJS is defined in the SPA framework.

Angular is not SPA.
With the help of Angular you can develop SPAs.
There are more to Angular as technology than SPAs.
Angular has features which helps to build SPAs. It is not a case that a site created in Angular would always be SPA.

Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Angular is not only a SPA. You can create multi page applications too. When the URL changes it means you are having multiple pages & its not a SPA. Below links should give a clear idea to you & clarify all your above questions.
