[**Controllers in AngularJS**](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304403/angularjs-controllers-and-scope) are JavaScript functions that are used to build the logic for AngularJS applications. They play a crucial role in managing the data and behavior of the application. Controllers act as the bridge between the view (HTML) and the model (data), handling the interaction and facilitating two-way data binding.

Key Features of Controllers

1. **Scope Binding:** Controllers are used to bind data to the view via the **$scope** object. The **$scope object** is a special JavaScript object that plays the role of joining the controller with the view.
2. **Methods:** Controllers can define methods to handle events and business logic.
3. **Modularity:** Controllers help in organizing the code into manageable, testable, and reusable components.
