If you like to strict length of an input field use maxlength.
If you like to validate the field value on its length use ng-maxlength. If a user inputs more than ng-maxlength attribute value then ng-invalid-maxlength class will be set to the field.

The difference is that the standard approach(html) doesn't allow entering more than max, while Angular's(angular JS) approach just generates a validation error.
