Building a Web-Based Facebook application using SPA / Angular

i'm about to start building a new Web-Based Facebook Application (it's an entertainment application with more than 20 screens - it's large App).

My question is: Which is better using a SPA framework such as Angular? or building the Application using the straight forward web technique?

i mean by "straight forward web technique: every screen is in a separate page and navigation is done by links and passing URL parameters"

thanks in advance for your help, and i'd like to add the below notes to be considered in your answers

  1. i'm working using PHP
  2. i need a high performance application
  3. i'm not an expert with Facebook App Reviews ... so please raise any concerns in this regard.

thanks a million

Solution

  • First you need to read this awesome answer then you'll have to decide , and I also recommend you do a great research regarding the use of RESTful APIs , because this is what you'll be using instead of the traditional HTTP page requests.

    UPDATE

    After creating your RESTful API back-end you'll have to choose your framework for building SPA like AngularJS or Backbone.js or knockout.js
