What is React ?

Image description

Today, front-end frameworks and libraries are becoming an essential part of the modern web development stack. React.js is a front-end library that has gradually become the go-to framework for modern web development within the JavaScript community.

The React.js framework is an open-source JavaScript framework and library developed by Facebook. It’s used for building interactive user interfaces and web applications quickly and efficiently with significantly less code than you would with vanilla JavaScript.

React allows developers to use individual parts of their application on both the client and server sides, and any changes they make will not affect the application’s logic. This makes the development process extremely fast. The use of HTML tags and JS codes makes it easy to work with a huge dataset containing DOM.

React acts as an intermediary that represents the DOM and helps you decide which component requires changes to get accurate results.React is incredibly user-friendly and makes any UI interactive. It also allows you to quickly and efficiently build applications, which is time-saving for clients and developers alike. One-way data-binding in react implies that absolutely anyone can trace all the changes that have been made to a segment of the data. This is also one of the reasons that makes React so easy.
