@name Developer Guide: Initializing Angular: Automatic Initialization
@description
Angular initializes automatically when you load the angular script into your page that contains an element
with `ng:app` directive:
<html ng:app>
<head>
<script src="angular.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
I can add: {{ 1+2 }}.
</body>
</html>
From a high-level view, this is what happens during angular's automatic initialization process:
1. The browser loads the page, and then runs the angular script. Angular waits for the
`DOMContentLoaded` (or 'Load') event to attempt to bootstrap.
2. Angular looks for the `ng:app` directive. If found it then proceeds to compile the DOM element and its children.
Optionally the `ng:app` may specify a {@link api/angular.module module} to load before the compilation. For details on
how the compiler works, see {@link dev_guide.compiler Angular HTML Compiler}.
## Initialization Options
The reason why `ng:app` exists is because angular should not assume that the entire HTML
document should be processed just because the `angular.js` script is included. In order to compile
only a part of the document set the `ng:app` on the root element of this portion.
## Global Angular Object
The angular script creates a single global variable `angular` in the global namespace. All angular
APIs are bound to fields of this global object.
