    Hello Anurag,

    You are asking, the difference between, aura framework (i.e. lightning component) and apex framework (i.e. visualforce component). Visualforce components are page-centric and most of the work is done on the server while lightning is designed from the component up, rather than having the concept of a page as its fundamental unit. Lightning Components are client-side centric, which makes them more dynamic and mobile-friendly. The lightning component uses JavaScript as the client-side scripting language.

    Thanks.

    Aura is an open-source UI framework built by Salesforce for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices. The lightning component framework is not different from the Aura framework rather it is a subset of the Aura framework.  The Lightning Component framework is built on the open-source Aura framework. However, the open-source Aura framework has some features that aren’t available to Lightning Component framework.

    Apex is a development platform for building software as a service (SaaS) applications on top of Salesforce.com's customer relationship management (CRM) functionality. Apex allows developers to access Salesforce.com's back-end database and client-server interfaces to create third-party SaaS applications. Apex includes an application program interface (API) that developers can use to access user data on Salesforce.com.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Aura is an open-source UI framework built by Salesforce for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices.To build lightning components in salesforce lightning we use the Lightning component framework. The lightning component framework is not different from the Aura framework rather it is a subset of the Aura framework.  The Lightning Component framework is built on the open-source Aura framework. However, the open-source Aura framework has some features that aren’t available to Lightning Component framework.

    Hope this helps!
