Difference between onLoad and ng-init in angular

Question

I am learning angular. I don\'t understand what is difference between onLoad and ng-init for initialization of a variable. In which scope it creates this variable.

From angular's documentation,

ng-init SHOULD NOT be used for any initialization. It should be used only for aliasing. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngInit

onload should be used if any expression needs to be evaluated after a partial view is loaded (by ng-include). https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngInclude

The major difference between them is when used with ng-include.

In this case, myFunction is called everytime the partial view is loaded.

Whereas, in this case, myFunction is called only once when the parent view is loaded.
