React The library for web and native user interfaces

What is React?

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable components and combine them to build complex UIs for web and native platforms. It uses a syntax extension called JSX, making component creation, management, and deletion efficient.

React is designed to easily integrate with existing HTML and can be used with full-stack frameworks like Next.js and Remix for routing and data fetching. The architecture supports data fetching in asynchronous components and aims to improve UI responsiveness.

Features

Components: Create reusable UI elements.
JSX: Combine markup and logic in JavaScript.
Interactivity: Update the screen in response to user interactions.
Framework Integration: Works with full-stack frameworks like Next.js and Remix.
Server and Client rendering : Stream HTML while still fetching data
Cross-Platform Development: Build web and native apps using the same skills (with React Native and Expo).

Use Cases

Building interactive web applications.
Developing native mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Creating reusable UI components.
Integrating with existing HTML pages.
Building full-stack applications with frameworks like Next.js or Remix.
