React

13 Posts
React is a free, open-source JavaScript library created by Meta in 2013 for building user interfaces. It breaks pages into reusable components and uses a virtual DOM to update only what changes, keeping rendering fast. Hooks let you manage state and side effects in plain functions, and a huge ecosystem covers routing, data fetching, and styling. It handles only the view layer, so bigger apps often reach for frameworks like Next.js to fill the gaps.
