ng- versus ng2- versus ngx-

You will see a lot of ngx- pet projects maintained by people who are not the Angular team and which are not released on the same versioned cadence as the Angular team's stuff. So what does the wacky ngx stand for? Angular extensions? No. There were a lot of tags and other names with a leading ng- in the AngularJS stuff and these were originally swapped out with ng2- upon version 2 of Angular. This has given way to ngx- which has a less specific version wherein that version is not version 1. ng stands for Angular.
