What is the default compilation for Angular 5? (AOT or JIT)

Question

On Angular's website, I read that the default compilation is JIT:

https://angular.io/guide/aot-compiler

I guess when it's on the official Angular website, it has to be JIT but on many other pages, I read that AOT is the default compilation in Angular 5.

This confuses me a little. In this question it also says that AOT is the default: Is the AOT Compilation the default on [email protected]?

What is true now?

Answer 1

Read carefully the answer that you've linked.

they've made the AOT compilation the default for production builds.

• ng serve is JiT
• ng serve -prod is AoT
• ng build is JiT
• ng build -prod is AoT
